Favorite Character
Panel 1: Kabbu puts up the Favorite One medal on a shelf. He says, "There we go! The Favorite One medal's new home."

The shelf breaks and crashes to the floor. The team look shocked.

Panel 4:
The team still looks shocked, but at least they have an extra charge!

I think I need to start a new thread pretty soon, this is already getting to be so long!

Anyway, you thought that 後 (あと) only means 'after? Hahaha- WRONG.

It can also be used to say 'the rest', 'behind', 'toward the end' and 'after one's death'! Are there more uses?

Uhhhhh probably.

Bugtober Day 5 - Dysfunctional Trio

Whenever Alphie isn't shown in a comic, all of the other characters should be asking, "Where's Alphie?"

#comics #bugfables #bugtober

Dysfunctional Trio
Panel 1:
Mothiva gloats, "To get back at Team Snakemouth, we need a third team member!"
Zasp says, "OK"

Panel 2:
Off screen, someone says, "Did someone say THIRD TEAM MEMBER?"

Panel 3:
A totally radical Aphid guy shows up. He looks like he came straight out of the 90s. The bubbles say, "It's Alphie!" "Radical!" "Don't do drugs!" "To the X-TREME!" "Original Character DO NOT STEAL"

Panel 4:
Mothiva and Zasp just stare at Alphie. Alphie is still posing.

Oh, shoot!! And you had to walk on it a lot during that time too?? Ughhhhhh that seriously sucks, I'm so sorry to hear that. But I'm glad that your toe is feeling better now!

Here's a helpful piece of advice for you all!

Don't EVER sprain your pinky toe. Even if all of the cool kids are doing it. Not even once.

I am in a considerable amount of pain!!!

Doing some book research into the mid-90s internet - this is a glossary from The Internet For Beginners, Usborne, 1997. It has made me feel very nostalgic

Anyway, I've got a toe bandage on and I'm trying to keep my foot elevated when possible, sssssssso! Here's hoping it gets better soon! This sucks!!

Katie || Adante @adanteallegro.bsky.social · 7d

Somehow, I have sprained my pinky toe. It's all red and swollen and I'm having a hard time walking without putting pressure on it.

How does one even sprain one singular toe, much less the smallest one??

YESSSSSS

So, when you want to say what something or someone us called, you say the noun and then 'という'. For example:

これかわいい動物は（猫）といいます.

Bugtober Day 3: Spell-Casting

In the art book, it’s revealed that Zasp has lightning magic! He just doesn’t use it I guess. This is probably why.

#bugfables #bugtober #comics

Spell-Casting
Panel 1: Mothiva and Zasp watch Team Snakemouth. Mothiva says, “UGH, look at them with their stupid ice magic.”

Panel 2: Mothiva says, “Zasp, put your lightning magic to good use for once.”

Panel 3:
Zasp rubs his hands together and says, “Anything for you, Mothiva.”

Panel 4:
Zasp shows off some static electricity, which makes Mothiva’s fur all static-y. She screams, “AGH STOP you’re ruining my FUR!!”

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

A helpful things I learned today! You can turn any noun into a verb by adding '～る' to the end of the noun. If you do this, then it acts like a godan verb if you try to conjugate it.

And, if I have this right, you can also use '～るな' if you want it to sound softer.

Bugtober Day 2: Puzzle

The answer to any puzzle is to just avoid doing it, if you really think about it.

Vi and Leif fly over while Kabbu rambles: "The Roaches worked very hard on this, so it's only right that we solve - "

Panel 4:
