Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for April 14, 2023

Percival, if I were you I’d buy up as many of those newly minted Lincoln pennies that I could find! On a side note about Richard, my wife and daughter are now vegetarians. Makes it a b!tch for me to make a family dinner.

In the “Things You’ll Need to Not Draw Doug” you’ve got the water molecule wrong. It’s H20, not O2H.

Helps if you put up a lawn sign, “Beware of Doug”

Now it isn’t only vegans but people who drink Bud Light!!

I too hope to someday not draw Doug.

I’m an old man who does not own a waffle iron. Am I doomed to spend what remaining time I have on this planet drawing Doug?

Percival Dunwoody’s comment is painfully true.

I’m getting very, very nervous; can I make it to the end without drawing Doug?

It makes sense. I have not drawn Doug and I’m prosperous financially, emotionally, and otherwise

Since you apparently NEED paper and a pen NOT to draw Doug, it may be that not drawing Doug only counts if you could have drawn Doug but chose to abstain.

Resisting temptation takes greater moral strength than simply avoiding it.

The F. H. of I. & W. P.s appears to be channeling Zippy.

You know what character I miss? The Ghost of James Caan’s Head.

I think I’d rather learn how to draw Doug.

Tough as it is, it seems much easier than this whole living-a-good-life thing.

Very strange offerings today.

Not gonna lie: Ben Garrison’s become boring, Sinfest is incoherent, Dilbert’s rightfully canned and Bruce Tinsley’s “retired,” so I actually wouldn’t mind a regular strip about this Richard loser angrily grinding his sphincter over things that do not affect him in any way whatsoever.

We once found some scribbled drawings under my teenage son’s mattress. But I did my paternal duty, took him aside and told him: “Just say no to Dougs.”
