Single-Panel Comics - by Insects and Bernie Paquette (Vol VIII)

Comics by Bernie and Nature! 

Laugh and Learn
De-bugging insects

   Vermont single-panel comics. Captions by Bernie, images by nature. Sponsored by the Insect Alliance, Solidarity for All Life, and our highly valued Local Pollinators. These comics introduced the term "Inverting" which means invertebrate watching as birding is to bird watching. 

Inverting is being outside, observing, experiencing

 the multitude, the diversity, the daily going ons of LIFE.

No bones about it, I am an 'inverter'!

Let's recognize our bond with all living species.

Asleep at the Wheel

Mice eat worms, snails, slugs, beetles, centipedes, grasshoppers, cockroaches, scorpions, and moth and butterfly larvae; not much of these about when it is 2 below 0 degrees.

Today (at -2) mice must risk coming out of their dens and your warm houses to search for birdseed.

The scout mouse calls out to the rest "It's safe, just be really quiet so you don't wake up the owl!"

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
This town ain't big enough for the two of us.
Your epitaph will read
long on legs
short on the
draw!

Pantry running low

Good thing I canned plenty of food last fall; Winter is looking 'long in the tooth' as am I!


Bug-inspired comic #163 Jan 4, 2024 

Mama told me not to stick my tongue out

Mama told me not to stick my tongue out

unless I was reaching into a flower.

Now that it is freezing outside

with not a flower or mama in sight

thought I would give it a try

didn't get caught 

it froze in place

mama mia!

A New Beginning 

Whatever you will become,  

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you!


When I was just a little girl

I asked my mother, "What will I be?

Will I be pretty, will I be rich?"

Here's what she said to me


"Que Sera, Sera

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que Sera, Sera

What will be, will be"


When I was young, I fell in love

I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead?

Will we have rainbows, day after day?"

Here's what my sweetheart said


"Que Sera, Sera

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours, to see

Que Sera, Sera

What will be, will be"


Now I have children of my own

They ask their mother, "What will I be

Will I be handsome, will I be rich?"

I tell them tenderly


"Que Sera, Sera

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours, to see

Que Sera, Sera

What will be, will be"
