Lol, it seems like everyone except PolleN112 forgot that Fergus already told them there was a butterfly controlling his mesothorax.
Also…also…Aric snapping is indeed terribly, terribly awesome. I’m amazed he held out this long. I mean, he already sort of freaked out before, when he and Lemmo split up, because he’s sick of not knowing what’s going on, and of their actions screwing everything up. But now he’s REALLY lost it! Awesome! Tired of being manipulated towards a purpose he doesn’t understand, tired of being told nothing… It reminds me of Harry in “Order of the Phoenix” where he flips out at being left in the dark all summer… Which was also an epic scene. I guess we, the audience, are suckers for catharsis.
But I love how Fergus is like “WTF HOLY CRAP PLEASE DON’T HURT ME!!”
I love how the light serves the double purpose of making it clear that he’s very, VERY angry, while hiding whatever colourful epithets he may be using in the process. Lemmo? Aric? You’re geniuses. Seriously.
Lipkin summarized this strip most eloquently: “Aric’s all like ‘F*** you plot! I’m not taking this Sh** anymore!’”
First time commenting…So the only reason I can think for the pilot bugs is that the butterfly isn’t piloting but more like powering like a hamster on a wheel. This explains Fergus’ complaint since it probably means that he want the butterfly to put more force in it
It wouldve been cool if you saw his pupil turn green
(hulk reference)
and i guess everyone thought that the hatch led to the hatch robots.
Fergus is probably get his butt kicked by Aric and the foxes are going to say ” IMMA TEAMWORK” and help out. oh wheres cloudy dust girl?
First time posting, I love this strip. I would stay lurker, but I had to ask.
Does this mean every bug prior to this was actually sapient along with the bug that is manning it? As in the giant thing that split in two and all could actually think. It’s kinda creepy of you think about it.
No the really big one full of confetti was just like a plane no talking there. After that they all reflected Fergus’ attitude. All except this new butterfly, however I do like Dvandemon’s theory about it powering him but not controlling him.

Aric’s all like “F*** you plot! I’m not taking this Sh** anymore!”
January 24th, 2011 at 12:52 am
Wow, there really was a butterfly workin his mesothorax. Also. Did Aric just snap? Finally!
January 24th, 2011 at 12:57 am
“I’m not getting pushed around anymore you *starburst*”. There is no text hidden behind it this time.
The pillbug in the butterfly’s mesothorax really needs to pick up the pace!
January 24th, 2011 at 1:34 am
aww the blur blocks my vue, lord ben will be displeased…
January 24th, 2011 at 1:36 am
I wonder if Lemmo will ever get another arm to replace his “woody” one.
January 24th, 2011 at 2:17 am
@Mell: Probably, Limbs and hands seem to be dime a dozen around here. He probably has enough to start….A second hand shop :Lolface:
January 24th, 2011 at 3:30 am
Cool! So it’s not just angry bug man that can do that!
January 24th, 2011 at 3:59 am
Aaaaand Aric snapped. XD
January 24th, 2011 at 4:02 am
My my, it’s a bug controlling another bug.
January 24th, 2011 at 5:25 am
Needs more lens flare?
January 24th, 2011 at 5:52 am
Go Aric!! It’s about time we see the badass side of him come out again!
January 24th, 2011 at 6:49 am
So apparently fergus has a pilot bug yet still has his own consciousness separate from the butterfly.
January 24th, 2011 at 11:43 am
Two things:
1. Aric is losing it and it is awesome to behold.
2. So now there’s a bug in a bug in a bug in a bug! Yay for recursion!
January 24th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
Yo dawg! I herd u liek bugs…
Also @djeims: There were words hidden behind the starburst in the previous comics?
January 24th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
No one suspects the butterfly.

[Insert witty light-related pun here]

INSULT LIGHTHOUSE OVERLOAD
January 24th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
No I remembered the butterfly comment from all those posts back, I just don’t see how Fergus has his own consciousness.

Also, I forgot that the lighthouse was still there.
January 25th, 2011 at 12:17 pm
@Nexall Why shouldn’t Fergus have his own consciousness? The butterfly is in his mesothorax, not his brain.
January 25th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Don’t make me angry, you won’t like me when I’m angry
January 25th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Don’t make me angry, you won’t like me when I’m angry
January 25th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
I thought he was joking about the butterfly XD
epic comic title :D
He’s soooo different from the last time he flipped out :)
January 25th, 2011 at 9:30 pm
*Gasp* I just realized that the light is because he’s spewing insults and the light is powered by insults! Haha can’t believe I forgot that.
January 26th, 2011 at 12:13 am
I love the title, because there is a certain level of sarcasm in the literal meaning of the word but a great deal of humor in the punny meaning.
And then Fergus went blind.
January 26th, 2011 at 1:17 am
Me too, M, re: the butterfly in his stomach.
Love you guys. Defier made me laugh.
January 26th, 2011 at 1:17 am
Now, interesting question. Do you think Aric knew he’d be brightening everything so painfully much, or do you suppose he hadn’t really thought it out?
January 26th, 2011 at 9:23 am
Onoz, I’ve been reading the comic for the past few days and now I’ve reached the newest one and now I can’t keep reading until it is updated!
January 26th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Haha, the Censor lighthouse is still operative. I think it’ll have a lot to do in the near future ^^
January 26th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
The confetti bug and rocket bug weren’t aware, but rememer what Fergus said when Lemmo first met him?
“There be a butterfly workin’ me mesothorax, but thas it.”
I didn’t know he was talking about a literal butterfly.
January 26th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Aric snapping hasn’t done him much good in the past, I wonder how much good it’ll do him this time?
January 29th, 2011 at 1:10 pm
@MarshmallowRadiation, Lol, what kind of butterfly were you thinking of? XD
January 31st, 2011 at 1:56 pm
YOUR MOTHER WAS A HAMSTER AND YOUR FATHER SMELLED OF ELEBERRIES
