Getting back to itching and comic relief:
How are people in the miserable height of summer doing itch-wise?
I know when I lived in sweltering weather IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d get cranky and itchy all over anyway, whether I and any bug bites or nay. Now is a good time to take a cool shower, use an ice cube on welts too.

Yeah, or to put it in bed bug terms, Willow had the breakfast and lunch, and he wants dinner!

Dear Winston,

… Imagine (in your mind) a bunch of hungry, angry kids, at the dinner table,

… There they all are … each one of them, pounding his or her silverware down upon the table into the wood yet in a grizzly-like waltz tempo:

1—2-3!

Above this din,we hear the words they chant:

Where’s part three?
Where’s part three?
Where’s part three?

Hi Mark,You do wonderful work!
I apologize—
I did not ask permission to blog your photo, but I did include a clear URL above it and a link to the source (your archives at empirewire.com), and the photo is itself linked to the page where you host it. I did not download the photo and am not hosting it myself. And I gave credit to the source (if your name had been prominent at that source, I would have named you as well as empirewire).
I understood that linking to a photo hosted on your site wasn’t violating your copyright. I have removed the link to the image. Alternatively, with your permission, I’ll put it back up.
Please let me know either in response to my email or a comment here which you’d prefer.

Interesting comments on unauthorized www use of Gary Larson cartoons. Particularly as neither the poster of this copyrighted image (nobugsonme) nor Winston O. Buggy, who mentioned using it in a Power Point presentation, requested its use.

Yes he has retired and is quite protective of his work, but
you can’t blame him as everyone was using it without credit
especially in the earlier days of “the web”. I imagine he
could re due the mosquito “Pull out pull out you’ve hit an artery”
for our little cimex buddies.
