Epic attack, it was indeed hitting at a pressure point of Fergus’… But will it be fatal? Or another question… if insults make this thing rise up, then surely compliments make it fall? Therefore, we have a problem if this goes overboard…
Also, Jaylee, you’re like the puppy of the comic comments part of this site, always excited when your master brings a new bone for you but overdoes it and gets told off for getting hair on his suit.
Aric’s eyes when ha says that are just hilarious to me. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if instead of falling back down with complements like everyone assumes it will instead fly sideways. Never file something away as obvious in blank it. Also last thing if it dose indeed fall down what will happen to the king who is building a new palace right below them.
Sorry to spam, just realized something: Fergus is a separate entity from the butterfly in his thorax. thus, he powers himself by insulting everybody around him. does that make a perpetual motion mech?
I facepalmed at Lemmo because they prefer vinegar more than honey.
I chuckled at Aric and Fergus because, well, it’s not what I expected. (It never is!)
Now Lemmo’s going to congratulate Aric for getting Fergus to shut up, Aric’s going to act flattered, the soxes are going to compliment each other because that’s what they do, and the platform will crash on the ground, probably crushing the cookie king.
@maglorious- “Quality time with fruitflies” is a little disturbing. @comic- YEAH! that is the Aric I know and love. Scary how he flipped from shy, almost freightened animal to borderline-maniacal, ninja move dispensing pain monger! hmmm.. I have issues. BTW, how are the kids? or is that a banned topic.

Jalee, you are insane. -_-
Also, this strip is awesome!
February 28th, 2011 at 12:33 am
you just got pwned, bug
February 28th, 2011 at 12:49 am
Jalee scares me….
Still, utterly hilarious. I wonder what kind words does to the bug light/flying contraption.
February 28th, 2011 at 12:51 am
Jalee1: I approve of your excitement! I do not approve of comment spam. Take it easy and enjoy!
February 28th, 2011 at 2:59 am
Did he just compliment the little bugger out of the sky?
February 28th, 2011 at 3:38 am
Epic strip is not unepic! But will Fergus counterstrike? Find out next time on Digimon, Digital Monsters! Err, Blank It.

His wings run on hatred, obviously.

@djeims
Any counterattack will simply brighten Aric’s day! :o
February 28th, 2011 at 8:13 am
@Nexall one word. clearly. laughing yet, Aric?
love Aric’s face in panel 3, and the foxes look scared of him in panel 2. :3
February 28th, 2011 at 8:19 am
Actually most fruitflys are MORE attracted to vinegar than to honey, something about the smell.
Also, that was a low blow Aric.
February 28th, 2011 at 8:59 am
I love the way the Parasox’s are slinking away from Aric. They know what’s coming down!
February 28th, 2011 at 10:38 am
Kindness! His only weakness!
Actually, it makes sense. if the lighthouse, and thus matryoshka bug #1, are powered by insults, why not Fergus, a.k.a matryoshka bug #3?

February 28th, 2011 at 11:18 am
Aric used (sarcastic) compliment.
It was super effective!!!
(I hope that the Parasoxes aren’t so afraid looking around him now).
February 28th, 2011 at 12:04 pm
Aric vs. Fergus: FIGHT!
Aric used COMPLIMENT.
Aric wins. Fatality!
February 28th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Love the title. Lol. XD And everyone’s right: Aric’s eyes in panel 3 = hilarious.
February 28th, 2011 at 12:55 pm

I chuckled at Aric and Fergus because, well, it’s not what I expected. (It never is!)
February 28th, 2011 at 1:54 pm
@ E_is_for_Eric.
Technically yes, you attract more flies with vinegar, but you’re not going to get as many stuck if you use a fluid liquid vs the stickiness of honey.
And nice comic strip, love the parasox. :D
February 28th, 2011 at 3:22 pm
@Jethro Rayne
But wouldn’t the vinegar just poison the flies?
February 28th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
why would vinegar poison flies?
February 28th, 2011 at 5:48 pm

February 28th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
OH SNAP!
That was better than the insult Fergus told Aric.
I like how the Parasox are cowering in the 2nd panel.
The expressions in this strip are priceless.
marca out!
February 28th, 2011 at 9:08 pm
Silly me, thinking that he was being literal. I mean, technically, his constant onsults power the light bug, BRIGHTENING the lives of everyone! Lol.
Also, Aric looks so self-satisfied in panels 3 and 4. Love it!
February 28th, 2011 at 9:09 pm
Insults*
sorry.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:36 pm
Quick! Someone play a Kanye West CD! It might be the only thing capable of reviving him!
March 1st, 2011 at 3:53 pm
What, as in insult to music?
March 2nd, 2011 at 9:17 am
Lol @Raiten.
And lol @ everyone who’s saying “actually flies like vinegar better”… Maybe so, but that’s not how the proverb goes… XD
March 2nd, 2011 at 11:57 am
@People who keep saying flies like vinegar more: How many of you got that from xkcd?
March 2nd, 2011 at 8:07 pm
even a cat couldn’t look more smug the Aric.
March 2nd, 2011 at 8:23 pm
I’ve spent most of my quality fly time with fruit flies, and they prefer rotten fruit
March 5th, 2011 at 4:24 am
@maglorious- “Quality time with fruitflies” is a little disturbing. @comic- YEAH! that is the Aric I know and love. Scary how he flipped from shy, almost freightened animal to borderline-maniacal, ninja move dispensing pain monger! hmmm.. I have issues. BTW, how are the kids? or is that a banned topic.
