The Buggs are huge Despicable Me fans.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are wearing the yellow bodies and blue underpants of minions. They’re also wearing goggles; in Mrs Bugg’s case, it is a unigoggle.

The text reads: “More cosplay.”

 

tasbuggian devil

tasbuggian devil [click to embiggen]

This is bugg philosophy in a nutshell, folks.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg stands by in happy astonishment, arms in the air in surprise, perhaps, while watching Mrs Bugg. Her body is spinning so fast it is a blur, but her face and feet are still, defying physics, physiognomy and common sense, but who are we to judge.

The text reads: “Febuggary 7, 1856: The Tasbuggian parliament passes a ruling allowing secret ballots. This image has nothing to do with history, but Mrs Bugg wanted to show off her Tasbuggian Devil act.

 

pretty princess

unicorn dress [click to embiggen]

Yep, that there is a princess-on-a-unicorn dress a la Despicable Me 2.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is wearing a sort of dress thing that makes it look like he’s riding a unicorn. He is wearing a sparkly tiara and is waving a star-topped wand. Mrs Bugg, meanwhile, is a Jaffa, with staff weapon in her hand, branded god-symbol on her forehead and thousand-yard stare on her face. Her ensemble is completed by her now-traditional black boots.

The text reads: “And some cosplay Buggs for fun.”

 

more NAMM cosplay

more namm cosplay [click to embiggen]

I’m guessing the “Hello Buggy” thing reminded them how much they love their Wall-E and Eve cosplay.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is dressed in his Wall-E costume, his legs sticking out below the robot body. The Wall-E face is grinning hugely while Mr Bugg waves one hand and holds hands with Mrs Bugg with the other. She is dressed in her Eve cosplay, with huge eyes in her headpiece and a shiny center display on her chest. There’s no way of telling if it shows the plant or not. She is still wearing boots, though.

The text reads: “The Buggs are getting out their favorite cosplay outfits for NAMM.”

their suitcases will be huge

namm cosplay [click to embiggen]

I mean, comparatively.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are kitted out in their alternate cosplay outfits (Saturday’s, perhaps?): Mr Bugg is Mr Spock, with the proper shirt, badge, ears and hand gesture. Mrs Bugg is Princess Leia, in the underwearless white dress, two danishes strapped to her head, and carrying a pistol. It now goes without saying that she is wearing black boots.

The text reads: “Since you said they could cosplay at NAMM the Buggs decided to break out more outfits.”

 

I’m not telling them

all about the cosplay [click to embiggen]

They can cosplay if they want to. I wouldn’t dream of stopping them.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is dressed as a stormtropper, with head-to-toe white plastic armor and a small pistol. Mrs Bugg is her favorite Jaffa, staff weapon in hand, symbol of her god on her forehead and thousand-yard stare going. She’s also rocking some description of armor.

The text reads: “The Buggs are looking forward to NAMM. They don’t understand that not all conventions are about cosplay.”

 

spy vs bugg

spies [click to embiggen]

I totally believe you, Buggs.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are dressed quite stylishly and totally not at all like spies. They are both rocking black hats, black cloaks and dark sunglasses, which is entirely appropriate and not at all suspicious.

The text reads: “Totally not dressed as spies and have no code words to share.”

 

well beloved

old skool [click to embiggen]

I love all the Buggs’ cosplay. I do not discriminate!

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is cosplaying as Princess Leia: He has two danishes strapped to his head, and is wielding a lightsaber and some sort of pistol-shaped weapon. Meanwhile, Mrs Bugg, to the surprise of absolutely no one, has called dibs on the Jaffa outfit, complete down to the staff weapon. She has the symbol of her god tattoed on her forehead, and a thousand-yard stare for expression.

The text reads: Old school cosplay for you.”

 

menu planning

thanksbugging [click to embiggen]

I hope to gods that Tofurkbugg is better-tasting than Tofurky.

Actually, I’m pretty sure Mrs Bugg’s headdress would be better-tasting than Tofurky. Things that live under rocks are better-tasting than Tofurky.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are dressed in First Thanksbugging cosplay: Mr Bugg is the pilgrim, with black vest, black hat and buckled shoes, while Mrs Bugg is in Native Buggerican garb, with a huge long feather headdress cascading down her back. They are each holding one end of a huge platter, upon which rests a large, antennae’d thing-that-is-not-a-turkey.

The text reads: Bugvember 25, 2013: The buggs decide that Tofurkybugg will be the official entree for Thanksbugging.”

 

oh, yeah, tell the truth

superheroes [click to embiggen]

I’m guessing Mrs Bugg’s invisible jet is parked behind them.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are rocking the superhero cosplay: Mr Bugg is BatBugg, with his all-black armored bodysuit, black bat-winged cape, black rubber bat-eared mask and black bat-shaped throwing star thing. I’m sensing a theme. ANYWAY. Mrs Bugg is doing Wonder Woman, with the patriotic bustier, golden lasso and bullet-stopping wristbands and metal headband thing.

The text reads: “Bugvember 25: Nothing really happened so the buggs played dress-up.”

 

no ordinary police box

police box

Because that Saturday was the 50th anniversary special, and they had to give it back, I’m guessing.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are standing on either side of an antennae’d police box, with a bank of windows near the top of the doors and a light on the roof. Mr Bugg is rocking a fez and a bow tie, while Mrs Bugg is resplendent in her normal bow. They are both gesturing grandly towards the police box.

The text reads: “Come play in our Tardis … until Saturday.”

 

arrrrrgghhh

pegleg

That’s some superior pirate cosplay there, guys! I should get them a good galleon to go plundering in.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are in full pirate regalia. Mr Bugg has cut off a leg and inserted a peg leg, and is waving a cutlass and a musket while a parrot sits on his shoulder. Oh, and he’s wearing an eyepatch. Meanwhile, Mrs Bugg is wearing a killer tricorn hat with the skull and bones on it. She’s cut off one of her hands and replaced with with a hook, and is also waving a cutlass. She’s also sporting a great big bushy beard, which we know she likes.

The text reads: “Adn … Buggs with props. Arrrrgghh … Capt. Pointy and GrapeBeard.”

 

howloween

howloween

Au contraire, Buggs, you are adorable!

Transcript:

The Buggs are rocking their Halloween Howloween costumes: Mr Bugg is a lovely ballerina, wearing a huge tutu and pointe shoes and standing on his toes, while Mrs Bugg is rocking the Dr Bugg look, complete with fez (with bow), bow tie and sonic screwdriver. Gender roles do not exist in buggland, I am thrilled to note.

The text reads: The Buggs wanted you to see their howloween outfits. Pretty scary, huh?”

 

legobuggs

legobuggs

I remember how excited we were to play Lego Marvel Superheroes … until it turned out to be a bit crap. Alas.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is decked out as Wolverbugg, adamantium claws extended and slicing up enemies all over the place. Meanwhile, Mrs Bugg is rocking the Spiderbugette look, swinging by on a thread of spiderweb and shooting compact and deadly balls of webbing at the bad guys, decapitating one in the process.

The text reads: Lego Buggs for the win!!! Wolverbugg and Spiderbugette slaughter some minions.”

 

the spaceman is my favorite

costume quest

Oh, man, how much do Loki and I love Costume Quest? It is not measurable with existing technology.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is the spaceman, complete with homemade jetpack (2-liter bottles) and a space sword. Meanwhile, Mrs Bugg is the knight, her armor and shield both emblazoned with ankhs. They are clearly about to enter battle.

The text reads: “Retro Costume Quest Buggs FTW!”

 

mutants

xbuggs

Man, I hope I get a superpower!

I think I would like to be able to stop time — not to play jokes on people or cheat at gambling or anything, although I might think about it — no, I would use it to get a full night’s sleep every fucking night. Think about it: I’d start to fall asleep, stop time, sleep until I’m done, and not be awoken by the sun or strange noises or the corndogg barking at the ninjas or the trash guys or high-speed kittens to the face or anything.

Man, that would be the business.

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are modelling their XBugg cosplay: Mrs Bugg is in full Wolverine mode, her adamantium claws extended and ready to slice and dice. She is also rocking a cape, a full-head mask with pointy ears, and what looks for all the world like a vest over a tshirt and Underoos, but I don’t judge. Maybe it’s yellow spandex. Anyway! Mr Bugg is also rocking a cape and full-face mask, with his own underoos, and he has a couple fingers pressed to his forehead while waves of psychic energy pour off him.

The text reads: “In the not too distant future, there will be a rising of the mutant buggs – the X Buggs”

 

raiders of the lost bugg

raiders

Bet you five bucks Mrs Bugg has John Williams’ score thundering through her head at this point.

Also, I’m really glad she didn’t choose to do the spider scene.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg stands next to a pit of huge spikes, one hand to his mouth in horror as the other waves to try to get the attention of Mrs Bugg, who is not paying attention, as she needs all her concentration to swing over the pit hanging from a whip she has attached to a branch. She is wearing a sporty hat (with bow on top) and a pistol holstered on her hips. Adventure is happening all over the place.

The text reads: “Duh Du Du Duh … Mrs Bugg is cosplaying without a net.”

 

timebuggs

timebuggs

It’s important to round out a busy day of phone testing with some nice, relaxing cosplay.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is wearing a bow tie, because they’re cool. He’s holding a glowing sonic screwdriver, and standing in front of an antennae’d phone box that is not all it seems to be, I strongly suspect. On the other side of the phone box, Mrs Bugg is wearing a skirt and her usual bow, and her hand is pressed to her mouth, either in delight, or to stifle her scream of horror at something we cannot yet see.

The text reads: “And then some cozplay with a sonic screwdriver.”

 

any excuse to wear a mask

batbugg girl and catbugboy

Also capes. Because Edna isn’t there to tell them “no”.

Transcipt:

Mr Bugg is making cat-claw hands for us, in keeping with his outfit, which features an eyemask, black body suit, whiskers, cat ears and a nose painted on his face. Mrs Bugg is also wearing the black body suit, with a barely-visible black utility belt and a cape. Her mask covers her face and sticks up in pointy bat ears, between which is her bow. She is waving a bat-shaped tool of some description.

The text reads: “Cosplay of Batbugg girl and Catbugboy”

 

any excuse to wear the peg-leg

piratey buggs

I wonder if they fight over who gets the parrot & who gets the peg leg?

Transcript:

Mr and Mrs Bugg are both cosplaying pirates: Mr Bugg with a patch over one eye and a parrot on his shoulder, Mrs Bugg with a huge beard and a peg leg. They are both waving a cutlass and a flintlock pistol and smiling.

The text reads: “Arrrgghh … the pirates Black Blade and Buggbeard say Hi!”
