Panel 1: Two praying mantises are walking on a grassy field. One mantis named Timmy, wearing a backward cap and carrying a backpack, says, "Hey, Sally? Are you a praying mantis, too?" Panel 2: The second mantis, identified as Sally, with flower-like hair and also carrying a backpack, responds, "Yeah. Why?" The background shows a warm, orange sky. Panel 3: Timmy, looking at Sally with a wide smile, says, "Because you look drop-dead gorgeous!" The background has a red circular pattern. Panel 4: The scene shifts to a park bench where the first mantis is sitting next to a ladybug with glasses. The mantis, looking downcast, says, "She said, she respects me too much to rip off my head and eat it." The ladybug replies with a simple, "Bummer."

We know constant plugs are annoying but please try taking a different perspective here: Although literally millions of people read our comics weekly, it’s still difficult for us as creators to make a living. We don’t get any money directly from Instagram or any other platform we post on.

If we wouldn’t have a Patreon page, we’d have to flip burgers and couldn’t make comics at all.

So if you read this or the plug of any other artist, please be kind. Thank you!

A moose suddenly appears at the window and shouts "I'm ready!" 4. The writer is annoyed and goes, "Goddammit, Frank! I SAID MUSE!"

This comic was published a while back on Patreon. Our supporters regularly get insights into our sketchbooks and have access to strips that nobody else gets to see. They loved this story so much that they encouraged us to publish a full color version. So here it is! Cheers to our patrons – you’re the moose we love to kiss!
