Even though I am so busy right now, I needed to draw a Bumble. I’ve drawn a few in passing, but never made the effort to post them. So, if you were/are a Bumble fan… rejoice. They’re back*.

Can I vent here for a second?

I’m a little taken aback at how many people I know are clambering to see the new Star Trek film. Let’s flashback to elementary school, where a young Clayton Flagg watched Trek religiously, built tricorders and phasers out of lego and brought them to school so he could play Star Trek with a small number of fellow geeks at lunch time.

The same Clayton who went as Data for Halloween, who built a model of the enterprise, collected Star Trek cards, and who actually owned The Starfleet Technical Manual.

And guess where this love for Trek got young Clayton Flagg in the vast social web of elementary and high school? Pretty much fucking nowhere. I was a loser. A geek. A nerd. And these were not cool things at the time, like it is now (for some reason). No, I was banished from all things cool because I was a Trekkie.

Now… JJ Abrams makes a flashy Trek movie and all those jocks and punks who pushed me around many years ago, are standing in line for the midnight screening. And all I have to say is…

Fascinating, and very illogical.

I almost forgot that Star Trek opens on Friday. Will I see it? Most likely. Will I enjoy it? We’ll see…

I’m excited to see Simon Pegg as Scotty.

There seem to be a lot of these little quizes to do on Facebook. I know, because whenever one of my friends does one, I get to know all about it on my page. So and so took the fuckin’… small appliances quiz. She is a: BLENDER. What small appliance are you? Click here to find out!

Yeah, no thanks.

I’d like to figure out how to make a quiz for people to take. I think that would be far more interesting than taking it. I’d make it really long and at the end, everyone gets the same outcome: “You just wasted 45 minutes of you life. And you’ll never get it back.”

Yeah, topical humour. That’s what The Daily Bumble is all about. That and bacon. So today’s topic is a perfect match. See if you can pull the deep underlying social message out of this webcomic. Because every Bumble is crafted with layer upon layer of deep hidden meaning and relevance.

And if you believe that, I have some beachfront property in Calgary you might be interested in.

This one was supposed to be posted back in April, but it wasn’t! Leftovers!

I just wanted an excuse to draw his propellor hat backwards. I like his wrap-around shades, too. This one turned out pretty good.

By the way, I wrote those rap lyrics myself. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

Oh Michael Bay, you’re such a tool. And yet, somehow, you are allowed to make movies. Expensive, blurry, CGI-y, head-scratching movies. And the worst part is, they make money.

Hey remember this running gag from last week? Yeah, it’s not over.
