The Buggs are clearly twelve years old.

Also: Yep, I was right. Totally magical university.

Also, I’m guessing the cloaks are because they’re at university?

Mr Bugg’s expression, though. DYING.

There is no possible way he wants to show her anything innocent, you mark my words.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg holds an old-fashioned two-piece telephonebugg to his face, a huge grin on his face. Two rooms away, Mrs Bugg holds a similar telebugg to her ear and mouth. She looks dubious.

The text reads: “Buggarch 10, 1876: Alexander Graham Bugg makes the first telebugg call by saying ‘Mrs Bugg, come here, I want to show you something.'”

I will never, ever stop loving the Buggs’ love of the flip-phone form factor.

Transcript:

Mrs Bugg holds an old-fashioned two-piece telephone, whose wire connects, anachronistically, to a cell tower. She is calling Mr Bugg, who is talking on his flip phone.

The text reads: “Febuggary 14, 1876: Alexanderia Graham Bugg applies for a patent for the telebugg.”

I’m sure they thought about it really hard, though.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg stands with a hand to his chin, eyes huge and round as he watches … something … happening in the air in front of him. Mrs Bugg is shrugging her shoulders; she’s got nothing.

The text reads: “Febuggary 13, 1880: Thomas Buggison observes the Buggison Event … and no bugg knows what it mneans.”

And here’s where began the book that gets creationists’ panties in a bunch.

Yay science!

Transcript:

Mr Bugg stands at the rail of a large, three-masted sailing ship, binoculars to his eyes. A flag flies from its poop deck, there are portholes along the sides, and Mrs Bugg has been nailed to the prow as the figurehead. The ship is just offshore from what is presumably an island.

The text reads: “Janubug , 1835: The HMS Bugle drops anchor off the Chronos Archibuglego.”

That looks pretty painful for the bugg who has to be the bulb. I hope later models were less painful.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is rocking a handsome bow tie and a smile, as he pulls the chain to run electricity through the bulb, which is, in fact, Mrs Bugg, who has been nailed to the ceiling and is glowing like whoa.

The text reads: “Decembugg 31, 1879: Thomas Edibugg demonstrates incandesbugg light to the public.”
