That really bugs the cop.

Yep, a bug catcher. Studies them sometimes, too, if they aren’t biting too fiercely.

What does he expect to catch with a giant net?

Hey, doncha try to have me on! ’Cause I am a B…O…L…L…I…S…uuum, ya know what I mean, meanie!

E… N… T… E… R… N… E… T

I spell it—I, T.

Something’s bugging him.

M… O… U… S… E.

A bug deflector should be added in order to catch more bugs.

Ah. He does root canals. Why the net?

S-o-o-o-o-o the guy is breaking what law?

Why does it matter to the cop?

OY!

so basically implying because he is a cop he can’t spell big words?

The cop is left handed. The more clever comments were taken.

People who mix up entomology and etymology bug me in ways I can’t put in words.

Bugs

[in a strange, high-pitched voice] Ah! No! He said that word!
