    For being the last strip, they keep changing the scenes from story arcs a lot. This is after the Star Wars adventure and Ernestine has gotten her new, fully functional, prosthetic hand. The skin tone is a perfect match and she can crack three black walnuts without damaging the nutmeats.

    Don’t remind me of that story arc. I was so sad when Bug got killed. Even though they replaced him with an identical Bug 2, it just wasn’t the same.

    Bug gets restored later. He accidentally got an undocumented beta personality upgrade from a unlicensed TechNet support kit. They find the problem by auditing the build file and stealing a load key to the less buggy undocumented released version. The long pauses in the beta were more annoying and dangerous than comical.

    That whole extended debugging scenario appears in many computer system design references as a cautionary example. A clear case of going too far, when you remove so many bugs that there’s no more bug left!

    In this case, the debuggers were all fired, and the original creators of the buggy code were given Ferraris.
