Are y’all liking this post just because of the hashtag #butts
Orbs is a pretty good euphemism for a certain category of butt!

I think “Beware of Orb” was the first time I see the word orb, the original was “BRO” and it clicked! A couple of these are earlier original strips, but I am sure I made these edits much later.

This is where my #orbcliff edits started, originally Heathcliff was dressed as a flower and the caption read, “Bees love him.” It would be a while until it evolved from circles into orbs!
