I’d never heard of “a bug and a wish,” to my recollection. It appears to be a framework for kids to use to express when they don’t like something and to ask for the other to change. It would seem to help the recipient understand and listen better. Obvious, Ruthie still doesn’t take criticism well.

I tried Googling “give someone a bug” and I got Animal Crossing references.

Wait…that’s “a bug and a wish”? Um, aren’t they the same thing? He’s just asking for the same thing twice, right?

Is it coincidence, or is he named after Earl Pickles from that other comic?

Yes Ruthie rolling her eyes, and she is shocked about that bug.

Relax, Ruthie! The bug could have been your future flame, Buggy Crispino!
