Close to Home by John McPherson for March 11, 2023

As long you guys don’t bring out a Bleeb doll. It will be okay.

is that why they pin bugs to display them?

Looks like it works! One just fell dead off of the couch.

I see your Point…. Works well.

Now we just need a hair or leg or antenna or mouth part from each pest

Just don’t stick a pin in Bleeb!

but don’t they need a doll for each ant?

VooDoo, huh… well just remember to put the VèVè on ‘em… not the Gris Gris! Gris Gris is the good VooDoo. Bugs need the bad VooDoo, not the good VooDoo.

Owww! #&$@## One of you guys just poked me with a pin?!

Headquarters in Nawlins?

IDK, but it kinda looks to me like Bleeb might be a bit distressed. I hope the pins in the bug-like doll are not affecting him!

Aaaakk!

Voodoo is still practiced in New Orleans and Haiti and other countries!

When in New Orleans, I was going in and out of all the quaint shops and went into a Voodoo shop…OMG…I felt erie and when I went further into the store I got spooked for some reason and left immediately! They had all this weird paraphernalia and parts and pieces….ew ew ew

Meanwhile, we’re stuck with the results.

Is that voodoo or acupuncture?

Here’s some background music for this comic: 1968 Jimi Hendrix “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”, enjoy!

Bug guys are definitely a different breed altogether, aren’t they?

They are installing robotics in dead spiders. I want one, with a camera crew. Cyborg Zombie Spider vs the Termite Queen whose minions are eating my house. I took out the Ancestral Queen when I pulled the stump that Dutch Elm killed. The war goes on.

Close to Home is usually good for a chuckle, but this one really caught me. Good work Mr. McPherson.

That’s a lot of sweeping they’ll have to do at the end

Don’t they need a small part of the target in the doll for this to work, or am I thinking of something different? That would make the process a little bit inefficient.

At Voodoo Pest Control, they always know their PIN.

Bleeb must think that voodoo doll looks just like him!! Ahhhhhh!!

These are real Green pest exterminators, no bad chems despoiling the earth…

My aunt was a real pest, can I book you for my house?…

Let’s sit and finish this roach before work…

It doesn’t really remove them, it just irritates the h€ll out them.

A new look at pin-ups.

Here’s a business plan: Since zombies originate from the practice of Voodoo, the business could create a spin-off company that rids houses of zombie pests named, maybe “Zombies Be Gone”, and double their profits!

If you have any dolls that look like a mole or vole, please give me a call ASAP
