this day in bugg history

grauman’s bugg

Thus did their silly error launch a tradition that would persist for nearly a century, to date.

Buggwai’i

Hurrah for Buggwai’i!

joan is back!

I haven’t gotten to use the Joan of Bugg tag in forever!

(This was a bad day for drawings and liquids, I’m guessing.)

There appears to have been an accident with this drawing. Oops.

and it was a sci-fi show!

3d [click to embiggen]

And the commander’s name was BUZZ! And those OUTFITS SO HELP ME. Those hats are KILLING ME.

but which galaxy?

And do they need extra power to dial the eight or ninth chevrons?

orpheus

Those are some pretty slick moves there, Buggs!

If Mrs Bugg can catch him with that lasso, I’ll give her a dollar.

And on your deathbed, you’ll receive total enlightenment.

So you’ve got that going for you, which is nice.

“magnetius” is the latin version

Mr Bugg as a cigar-smoking Wolverine and Mrs Bugg as Magneto fills me with so much joy.

I wouldn’t dream of pointing out their error. In fact, I am just going to die right here because Mr Bugg as Robert and Mrs Bugg as Gallup MELTS MY VERY FUCKING SOUL.

no more exploring for Buggellan

He is an ex-explorer. He is exploring with the explorers invisible.

(Mrs Bugg looks WAY too happy about this drawing — like one of those hunters posing with their kill.)

dunbugg

I’d call Mr Bugg’s peace-symbol woad ridiculously optimistic for a guy holding a battle axe.

not that Das Ich

THAT Das Ich put on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen in my life, in a grubby little bar in Tempe. I had goosebumps for just about the entire set. Fantastisch!

malaprop buggs

The DOLPHIN. FFS, Buggs.

some bugg

Cleolinda’s Troy in 15 Minutes was the first m15m I ever read, and nearly peed myself the entire time — even though I hadn’t even seen the movie.

Clearly it also made an impression on the Buggs =)

nickname

pharoh [click to embiggen]

In Louisiana, election signs frequently have the candidate’s nickname in quotes between his first and last names, like “Buford ‘Bubba’ Thibodeaux” and the like, so that is totally the vibe I’m getting off Thutmose “Bugg” The Third here.

Which is unfortunate, since Bugg > Bubba.

wrigley field

I think I only went there a couple times, but I have many fond memories. I never chewed gum there, though, so well done, Buggs, for thinking of it!

pretty racy for the 14th century

Go Mrs Bugg, giving the finger to the modesty establishment!

but where are the beans?

no beans [click to embiggen]

I can only assume they’re in a can resting in the coals, about to explode and cover everyone in molten bean juice. Danger beans!
