Nice platemail, Mr Bugg! Did you fear armed resistance from Mrs Bugg in her grass skirt and coconut bra?
do they have a flag?
the first Florida Man

Well, the first non-native one, anyway. I strongly suspect it’s the non-native Florida Men who get up to all the ridiculous shit.
we’re moving to guam

What an exciting time for all concerned!
Transcript:
Mr Bugg stands at the prow of a large sailing ship, anchored about ten feet away from a small tropical island, which prompts the question, why is looking through a telescope? The answer: To better see Mrs Bugg, not overly dressed in a bra made of coconut halves and a micro-mini skirt made of the local vegetation, along with boots and bow, as per usual.
The text reads: “Buggarch 6, 1521: Ferdinand Buggellan arrives in Guam.”
later called bugganmar

Ah, yes, the nefarious “Bringing a flag” ploy!
Transcript:
Mr Bugg is waving the flag of the Buggtish empire, while Mrs Bugg, wearing a bra made of two halves of a coconut and a grass skirt, waves a spear and shield in dismay.
The text reads: “Buggarch 5, 1824: First Anglo-Bugmese war. The Buggtish officially declare ware on the Bugmese … they bring a flag.”
conquistadores
The text doesn’t say, but I’m guessing Mrs Bugg was at that moment planning her pillaging-and-killing-her-own-men schedule.
Transcript:
Mrs Bugg plants a flag in the beach, while offshore, her ship and crew await. A bugg is in the crow’s nest, probably hiding.
The text reads: “Baugust 6, 1538: Bugotà is founded … by Buggs.”
eminent domain
Apparently, the Bugg and Stripes was actually in use two hundred years earlier!
Transcript:
Mrs Bugg plants a triumphant flag on a beach, while Mr Bugg stands behind her with a sword, prepared to defend her against any pesky natives that might object to their land being so summarily claimed. A ship (with antennnae, natch) rides at anchor just offshore.
The text reads: “Junebugg 17, 1579: Sir Francis Buggke claims a land he calls Nova Buggia (modern Calibuggia) for Buggland.”
hunger strike
I hear the Buggtish empire could be pretty mean. I really hope Mr Buggdhi succeeded!
Also, I’m seriously considering adding a “flag” category. [ETA: ok, yeah, we need a flag category!]
Transcript:
Mr Bugg, in a sort of short toga-thing, looks quite sad and droopy-antennae’d, as a smiling, clueless Mrs Bugg waves. She’s holding the flag of Buggtian and apparently quite pleased with herself. Come now, Mrs Bugg.
The text reads: “Maybee 8, 1933: Mohandis Buggdhi begins a 21-day fast in protest of Buggtish rule of Buggdia … especially because they only succeeded because they had a flag.”
the great Bugg explorers
I love that the boat has sails and oars, and the giant spyglass, and the pirates and ninjas. Really the whole thing is awesome.
Transcript:
A female bugg stands in the bow of a ship, looking through a huge spyglass, while a male bugg rows the ship. The ship is flying the Buggland flag (two buggs, ensmiled, on a field of a color we will never know, because the pictures are always in black and white), and features two square sails on a single mast.
The text reads: “Munch 22, 1508: Bugglandigo Vespucci becomes chief navigator of the Bugg nation navy. She will later discover the new colony of Buggland, named after her. She also fought pirates and ninjas.”
“do they have a flag?”
Ah, eminent domain in Buggland. Also flags.
Transcript:
A tall ship waits offshore as a bugg plants a flag on the beach. He’s clearly quite happy, waving to the camera (artist?).
The text reads: Munch 6th, 682 : “Ferdinand Buggellan lands on Buggnam. The natives are powerless to stop him from claiming the island as they do not have a flag.”
