Panel 1: In a bar, a male praying mantis is asked by a female mantis, "Hey, can I buy you a drink?" The background features a disco ball and bar stools.
Panel 2: A close-up of the same male mantis looking terrified and yelling, “Stop, Missy! No way!”
Panel 3: Now in a classroom, the male mantis – Mr. Meyers – is teaching a group of young mantises. On a TV, a paused video of the bar scene is shown. Mr. Meyers exclaims, “And that, boys, is how you stay alive!”
Panel 4: Two bug students are watching. One says, “Mr. Meyers seems lonely.” The other replies, “Yeah.”

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!
