Bug Zapper by Tom Eaton
Comic description: Dung Beetle tells Butterfly Bob, “Let’s brainstorm. How can we make bubbles dangerous?” Butterfly Bob has no idea. Dung Beetle says, “They could be filled with poison and explode instead of pop!” Butterfly Bob says, “Yuck.” Dung Beetle imagines scenes of space and the jungle. “And it would be awesome if we had to obtain the ingredients from different exotic locations like a dramatic treasure hunt.” Dung Beetle leans into Butterfly Bob and says, “What are the ingredients anyway?” Butterfly Bob reads the label of a bottle of bubbles. “Soap water.”
