They’re right to be more worried about ticks.
Wukilars might get one or two of them, but ticks might get ’em ALL!
It’s something to consider when you’re worrying about what’s in the dark past the treeline.

I’ve heard the ticks are real bad this year too. Permanon and beer. Great combination.
I see THE TICK back there in the shadows, and don’t forget that murderous dino-bird.
Looks like Wassername saw him taking a break behind a tree.
That’s not The Tick, that’s just Patrick Warburton.
Panel 3, woman third from the right: “T-h-i-s big!”
But the Tick is friendly? The cassowary? Not so much.
What the heck is going on in the background of panel 3? XD
Why? Does it Tick you off?
I thought the Tick would be bigger than that…
Bugs of ANY kind disturb me far more than wild animals. I’m making plans to leave Florida because – bugs.
Mosquitoes the size of a small plane. Had those in Alaska summer. Rumor was a swarm of them could suck you dry.
North Dakota ones were large and tough, they could bite you through a new jean pocket!
NevoUmind about after dark in the woods unless you’re camping and prepared your site. You don’t want to know the places I’ve had regular and deer ticks. About a decade ago we had such a problem that the dogs were just covered in them, the vet and techs were tired of seeing farm dogs with over 400 of them. A day or two later they would be just the same. Nothing you put on the dogs slowed them down. We even paid the vet to apply the tick-be-gone after we had tried a few times over a few weeks. Daily having to go over our dog with tweezers and a jar full of 99% rubbing alcohol… and she got something that started with an E and had about 30 letters in it. The vet gave us meds which gave her about six more months of life. A LOT of dogs went that summer. Neighbor next to us had a huge patch of weeds… wouldn’t do anything, he lost all three of his and caught the human version of the big long E word. Boy do I hate ticks. And they are 8 legged, arachnids, (YEP) and can live for about a year without food or water before they attach for their blood meal. Just so NOPE!!!!!!!!!
Nematodes pale next to ticks!!!!! (bet a good line up of people with ticks Sunday morning would make Dr. LeChamp quit)
My brother showed me the tick nymph he has between layers of tape in his wallet. The bite looked rather spectacular. He actually called it a nymph tick, and posted a photo of several hundred of them. When I got home from my visit, I felt rather tickly, and sure enough, there was a (regular) tick crawling up my leg. Down the drain it went. So grateful for the stuff they have nowadays that keep the ticks off the pets. Just wish they had a version for the moose. They have no defenses and often have thousands, They cannot survive the winters with that many and it is not cold enough to kills the damn things. I may get me some guinea fowl…
Don’t flush them. Give them a swim in a bit of rubbing alcohol for an hour or so THEN flush them. 70% rubbing alcohol kills them. And will kill what they may be carrying. When our Keeshond got inundated I had a salsa jar full of rubbing alcohol (I used 99% hospital/injection cleaning grade and would drop them into an inch of that.
Finally just got all up to date with Hubris, and I must say, I love this comic. I can’t wait to see what will happen next. There have been many laugh out loud moments along the way, but by far the best laugh I had was the dude in the tent after the atomic funnel cakes…. I laughed so had and so long I was crying. I also love the Buckets, you have two of the best comics, Pray you never stop.
Welcome to the gang. More to come for SURE. (Greg, if he fills out an app, can you get him into the Sunday Sportsfest in the next few to several months?)
Thanks!!
