Bloggers need repellent 2.0
Boy, you nailed it Hugh
Nice.
Totally brilliant Hugh 🙂
“bloggers need repellant 2.0”. not sure about that really. bloggers need a readership, a following, a fanbase. if they end up seeing their followers as mosquitoes that’s really unfortunate. but i don’t think that’s Hugh’s point. any kind of celebrity brings with it a fair share of people wanting to suck a little blood. seems to me that Hugh’s mosquitoes are one of the prices of Celeb 2.0 🙂
Lets see… bloodsuckers, stinging/burning/itching, malaria, buzzing in the ear, travel in packs… Yeah, I would say that is spot on!
At the risk of pimping my own stuff in the reflected glow of Hugh’s graphic brilliance I coined Continuous Partial Transparency 🙂

ROFL So true! So very true.
You can’t walk around naked, with the windows open, and the lights on and not expect mosquitos.
Bloggers are exhibitionists and readers voyerists. Methinks thou doth protest too much.

Let us not forget the important role mosquitoes have in our ecosystem. 1) Pollination 2) serving as food for others.
i love your cartoons! they’re brilliant!
Okay you are now my official comic professor- I will look to you for guidance when I’m standing there naked.
Don’t talk to me about mosquitoes … I’ve canoed in the swamps of the Florida Everglades under a dark swarm of them. You need repellent, gloves, a foreign legion hat and a long-sleeved shirt. But in praise of the metaphor, I’d still do it all over again.
to my mind your cartoons are awesome!
