Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for September 03, 2021

No wonder I can’t draw Doug.

Looking forward to this movie! I heard there’s a scene with Mr. Chilly … it’s a shame we so rarely see him these days, he’s so underrated.

Ludicrous gibs in panel 5! Worthy of Duke Nukem 3D.

“Your face? Your ass? What’s the difference?”

In answer to the question “isn’t there any fekakta cartoon character who hasn’t been option for a movie yet?” I give you:

Little Iodine, the Motion Picture!

Don’t be silly. Doug would have to be played by Chris Hemsworth, Duane Johnson or Hugh Jackman.

A fakakta is a thing, object or person that is completely messed up.It is not working as it should be, or maybe it should not have been working from the start.

This Yiddish term is the perfect slang for anything that is negative. Your house is falling apart? It’s “fakakta”. Your kid likes eating worms? He’s “fakakta”. You just lost your job, your partner left you and you got kicked out of your house? Well, your life is “fakakta”.

“Fakakta” is one of the most used cuss terms in the Yiddish language.

Have a fun filled and safe Labor Day my friends.

Giant Wombats! Looks like we’ll be visiting The Outer Reaches of Plot Twists!

Also, he was a Martian.

What a depressing life. Still better than Poochie: The Rockin’ Dog.

Ruben must be on vacation. This is a re-run.

Is Doug cooking meth in panel #8? The test tube, the blow torch, the sleazy hotel room… Is this an episode of “Breaking Mediocre”?

The original title of the movie was “Star Wars: The Quest For More Money”.

Comic strip geeks should check out the Derby Dugan Trilogy, by Tom de Haven. It follows the evolution of a single comic strip character from the 1890’s to the 1970’s. “Funny Papers” deals with the initial creation and popularity around the time of the Yellow Kid. He’s a young boy a tall yellow hat, a talking dog named Fuzzy, and a magic wallet that always has a $10 bill in it. By “Derby Dugan’s Depression Funnies,” he’s been transformed into the hero of a serialized strip like Little Orphan Annie (still with the talking dog and magic wallet), and in “Dugan Under Ground” he’s resurrected/pirated into an Underground Comix feature. I found them really enjoyable. (Note: The novels concern Derby Dugan’s creators and the changes in comics industry over the eras, although examples of the “Derby Dugan” comic strip are occasionally provided.)

With Adam Sandler as Captain Bad Guy.

They couldn’t get Seth Rogan, so the settled for Jude Law.

If YOU want to experience what it was like to be an early 2000’s webcomic creator, just go to stripcreator.com and go nuts-esque!

Heck-darn, I’d go see that!

Jude law? Not Jeremy Renner?
