this day in bugg history

in public

Look, I get it. You don’t want eighty frillion people watching, in case you crash and burn. Best to practice a couple times before you start selling tickets.

Also: How adorable is Mrs Bugg’s camera? VERY, I tell you.

I’ll admit it took me a minute to get this one, then I couldn’t breathe.

Because MIME-O-GRAPH, you guys.

what is up with those hats

And those finger-gun gestures? Filed under “shit I will never understand” and also “things I will continue to watch at least a few minutes of, because of the hats and the finger guns”.

Yeah, my file cabinet is weird.

Look, if you’re going to hire mercenaries, go for the best.

(In eerily related news, I just last night [several weeks ago, by the time you see this] received in the mail a Black Ops Teal’c to go with the Stargate I got for my birthday. I’m sure Mrs Bugg has already stolen his staff weapon.)

symbology

Because of the woeful state of middle school and high school chemistry education in this country, every. single. time. we explain that the Reliquary symbol, seen here on the first shirt, and chosen at random from a symbol-font, is the alchemical symbol for potash, the listener goes “Pot, hur hur!”

Give me strength.

end of an era

Mrs Stig Bugg standing by to take the last Beetle for a quick spin around the track is a nice touch.

It was also the first animated short to win a Buggcademy Award!

to boldly go

Things I will never not love:

  • Space suits
  • Space helmets
  • Rocket ships
  • Antennae on everything
  • Buggs as logos for Bugg things
  • Buggs waving, just because

Of which this drawing is chock-full, and therefore awesome.

Do I need a Mary, Queen of Buggs tag? They seem to love her as much as they love Joan of Bugg.

I wish to draw your attention to the fact that Mrs Bugg is still wearing those boots. Gotta love the dedication.

the saddest key

symphony no. 40 [click to embiggen]

I’m guessing bugG minor was Mozart’s moody goth key, and, when combined with that killer wig, a great way to get chicks.

bugcadians

So I guess now they’ve been officially expelled?

Nice concertina, Mrs Bugg! You are well on your way to inventing chank-a-chank.

bumper rockets

Yeah, Buggs, that’s totally not … actually, y’know what? Never mind. You go ahead & play bumper rockets. Fingers crossed that you don’t have to re-grow any limbs after.

the boy king

abdicate [click to embiggen]

No, not that one; the other one.

Also, Mary can’t catch a break, can she?

the sandwich is apocryphal

Look, no one wanted the history of the world to hinge on the sandwich more than I did, but turns out? Not true.

Shame about the hat.
