Attack of The Ants
First they take your donut, and then they take over your house. Ants: They must be stopped!
(This comic strip was previously published on June 15, 2009.)
Blogger and pet turtle aficionado Novroz created a Boosh-styled Binky painting. The Mighty Boosh is a British TV show which happens to be Novroz’s favorite comedy. You can read all about it and see the Booshed Binky on Novroz’s Mommy Van Gogh post.
… and some ants are in the wrong place at the wrong time!
Like the kitchen table!
Best for them to be on the receiving end of a swatter. 😉
If they can’t stay outside where they belong, they’re going to get it!
Well done Chris you deserve award for this 🙂
very proud of you 🙂
And I proudly accept the Swatter Award that you presented to me. (Which you can see here.
I feel sorry for the Ant 🙁 I just hope that one of my Zombies doesn’t decide to sit at your table or anything could happen 🙁
I thought Fraz’s traps were taking care of the Zombie invaders.
Just saw that, Chris!…Very cool award, and well deserved!
Great job, Soma!
I think it was well deserved, if I do say so myself! And it’s all thanks to Soma.
I’m headed over to take a look… 🙂
You won’t be disappointed!
Hey…Boosh Binky 🙂 I think he could be a great friend to Bollo 😉
I understand Chris’ feeling so well…but ants are better flies.
Thank you for the link, peter 🙂
You’re welcome, Novroz!
Flies are the worst! With mosquitoes a close second.
Flies are a pain in the you know what. They cause things to get knock over when trying to keep the little buzzards from flying around the face. Gnats are just as bad…maybe worse.
And ticks too, for transmitting things like Lyme disease. And fleas for the Bubonic plague.
A roach!…eeeew!
Insects are fun!
Wasps can be a pain in the butt too, especially if you happen to sit on one 🙁 Eeek
Yes, that would not be good!
Wasp is better than flies…as long as we don’t sit on them 😉
Or as long as they aren’t chasing us!
Quick, run there is a swarm
of wasps coming our way 🙁
I’m going to hide in the bathtub!
😯
He had it coming!
Schplaaaat 🙁 Poor Ant
He’s a lot poorer now.
And a lot thinner too 🙁
Flatter than an antcake!
I don’t discriminate. I’ll kill anything that goes for my doughnut! 😉
A man has to defend his doughnut!
Oh Bill I am with you on this , look at my food if you have a thing for ending up in body bags
You definitely must be part Wombie. Supper time around here can be dangerous!
Chris have you ever tried using a catapult for zapping those pesky doughnut thieves? If not then I will send you one 🙂
No, I’ve never tried a catapult. I’m willing to try it, though.
Fraz can show you how to aim, he is an expert at zapping Zombies 🙂
He certainly seems to be! He must have learned it all from you.
Ant that a shame.
Never let an ant come between a wombie and his donut…..just saying.
Ants should get their own doughnuts if they want them!
It was trying to.
That doughnut was already taken!
All those little baby ants waiting for daddy ant to bring them home a surprise are going to be very disappointed. Orphan ants 🙁
That’s sad! Poor ants. Maybe I’ll go feed them.
Maybd you can be their daddy now…just don’t let Chris finds out, he might kill them all
I always wanted one of those Ant Farm things! It’s a glass cage thing for ants. It lets you see how ants make their tunnels and stuff.
I know that thing…although I always wonder why do people want to have an ant farm? it’s not like you can milk them
No. It’s just fun to watch ants do what ants do! Like making tunnels and fighting and all that stuff.
It didn’t care. Ha, it was the death of him.
Doughnuts might ultimately be the death of a lot of us.
😯
Too much fat and too many calories.
Thet are morish though don’t you agree? Go on, pass me another doughnut while we think about it 🙂 Help yourself to the chocolate chip cookie topped doughnut with extra caramel cream, they are wickedly enjoyable those Chris 🙂
I would have liked to, but most things chocolate around here disappear before I even see them.
Yes I never thought about that, well at least you can ask Winky and Fraz what it tasted like 🙂
I guess I’ll have to! If they even remember eating it!
Wombies have the same structure
And eat more.
Yes, you humans rarely seem to eat enough.
I am working on that…
I’m sure Bruno would be happy to guide you in that endeavor.
He has been working on portion control. He says mine are entirely too small.
I’ve no doubt they are. You need to think like a Wombie, and eat like a Wombie.
I will be the judge of that Red, by the way are we still talking about portions? Well I only said 🙂 lmao xxxx
I would say our social structure is more akin to that of humans, but more equitable and with more chocolate.
Chris is right… by the time you DO find out what their destination is, it’s too late because they’ve TOUCHED it!!!! eeeeeeeuuuuuuuwwww!!!!
🙂
And then they get stuck in in the icing!
Not the kind of sprinkles you want.
No! Eww.
Of course not.
I think you need one of these milkshakes I make for Fraz…Here, it will go good with your doughnut.
That was much better than an ant doughnut. Thanks!
I have made you a triple decker vanilla with extra sweet custard and cherry surprise, I think you will need to eat that with a fork or spoon though, or it could get messy 🙁
It sure sounds worth it, though! And I think I might even be able to eat it in peace.
Yes there is NO chocolate on
this one Chris so enjoy 🙂 🙂
And that’s the only type of treats I ever get to eat around here!
Gasp!!! Chris, what have you done??? They taste much better when they’re still alive
Well when you visit I promise you can have all the ants you can find. And any other insects you like.
Ha! Ouch! Some ants seem to have a very… ‘flat’ structure, too! 🙂
I prefer them than way!
My top three are mosquitoes, roaches, ants. The flies I can kill more easily.
I despise flies the most since they can transmit so many germs and diseases.
Mosquitoes are blood-bourne pathogen carriers. And my children and I have very translucent skin… all the better to bite.
Very true. Mosquitoes probably cause the most death and disease.
Ticks and fleas are up there on that list, but mosquitoes still hold the top spot. Ugh. I want to eradicate them all.
They did an amazingly good job of eradicating them during the latter part of the construction of the Panama Canal. At what environmental cost, I don’t know.
Can we talk about doughnuts and marshmallows instead of all the creatures this side of Portland? 🙁 Eeeuw
Yeah, doughnuts are a much more interesting topic!
Yes like doughnuts with chocolate, marshmallows with chocolate, ice cream with chocolate and even sprouts too 🙂
I let you have the sprouts, but the rest of them sound really good!
Bwahahahahahahaha. So much for that lesson. This is hilarious.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Thanks, Sandee. I hope you have an ant-free weekend.
I laughed at this one too Peter, you certainly know how to add a punch-line, or is that a swat line? 🙂
Thanks, Andro.I guess this one could be called a swat line.
It’s a fun cartoon strip for sure 🙂 I can’t wait for your next one my great friend 🙂
Only 5 hours and 19 minutes to go!
Can’t really argue with Chris’ logic on this one.
The ants may have an argument with it, though.
Maybe we will see in the next post “Revenge of the Ants” 🙂
It might not be wise to give them any ideas. There is at least three times the mass of ants as compared to that humans. They could take over at any time. . .
I’m with Chris on this one!…SWAT!
I always have my fly swatter handy during summer!
Me too!
Summer and September. I have more than one!
Good idea. I’ve got swatter number#2 on my shopping list.
I should work on an automatic flyswatter/catcher.
And in monsoons I am a serial killer hunting down all those bugs like maniac
I don’t blame you one bit!
Those bugs are fighting
back, and the Zombies too 🙁
I hope there are no zombie bugs! Mosquitoes that eat your brains would be scary!
It would be even scarier if
they were eating our wine
gums and pancakes 🙁
That would be!
I remember when Novia drew that picture. It’s cute! 🙂
It is! It’s styled after the artwork on The Mighty Boosh TV show.
I’ve not ever seen the show.
I don’t think it received wide airplay in North America. I saw it on DVD. There are some clips on YouTube.
I like watching Worzel Gummage
on there, I always liked that show 🙂
The Mighty Boosh is definitely British humor. Which I like a lot.
Yes I have seen some of those 🙂 Miss. Novia is the expert on that show, she loves it 🙂
She’s one of the show’s biggest fans!
loved it – so funny !
Thanks, Duncan.
Poor ant :/ I don’t really mind ants..flies bother me though..and the other insects…let’s not talk about those.
Ants and Bees with their social structures..I wonder if they have politicians and stuff too…and renegade ants…mutinous ants! Ooo..that would be an interesting tale!..hehe
Their societies are so complex, they probably do have a lot more variation than we’re aware of. In some studies of ants, they found that their motion in crowds is almost exactly the same as the way people move. We may be more ant than we realize.
They’ve been annoying in my mailbox. Good thing there is no food in there.

Maybe they’re waiting for a delivery?
now look I am with Chris on this, I kill ants and flies if they so much so as look at food
Chris continue the good work 😆
I will! Thanks for the support. And for the Swatter Award! I’m going to put that up on my wall. And here!
Mmmmm – now just choco-cover that ant patty and you’ll have a high protein appetizer!
I’ll let you have that if you want.
I heard recently that the largest war currently going on in the world is taking place in California between two ant colonies. The battle line extends all the way from the northern part of the state down to Mexico.
Ant Wars! I didn’t know that, but I wouldn’t be too sad if they all killed each other.
I’m all for animals rights, but there’s no way I want one in my jelly donut!
Most insects aren’t too high up on people’s list of animals to care about.
I like your impression
of Boosh Binky Miss. Novia 🙂 xxxx
Got to protect the glaze man no matter what goes after it.
That is for sure! No insect touches my doughnut and lives to tell about it!
Ants are good, in the right place, Chris, outside fine, inside, see one and you’ll be sure to see more. (no, I don’t mean they’re named Seymour, 😉 ) but If it were just a single one out for a stroll I’d’ve picked it up and taken it outside, saying ‘do not darken this door again!! erm, any doughnut left? xPenx
If ants stay outside where they belong, I’m happy to let them be. But I don’t like them invading my house! Or going for my doughnut!
I’ll get another dozen doughnuts if you come over.
Best make that twenty dozen Chris
as Fraz, Me and Winky are calling 🙂
I’ll just buy out the doughnut shop to be sure.
Nooooo, Chris!!! Poor ant.
I’m sure Fraz and Binky are really sad now… 🙁
And the ant was even sadder!
I have not meant to be missing this long. Gah.
Nice to have you back. But we have missed you around here! I hope everything is well.
Just uber busy. Three book releases in three weeks and the NIH research study. I feel like I am meeting myself in the driveway.
Three books is definitely a lot. I hope things slow down a bit to a more sustainable pace.
Ants killer! 😉
It was either the ant or my doughnut!
