Farewell Doctor Mandibles, we hardly knew ye…

Anonymous

this makes me sad

Panic Blitz

R.I.P. P.S. can I get a Doctor Mandibles shirt?

Hope

RIP

Spoogle McGee

Also that light's going on your bill.

Chris Gallaty

The script read: "Exit Dr. Mandibles (Stage ZAP!)"

Michael Boettger

Plus a hazardous waste disposal fee.

Douglas E. Smith

It's a cicada, isn't it? They can make it to Mass, can't they?

Michael

All things considered that was probably the best outcome

Summer Sudbrink

Should they be concerned that their fluorescent light electrocutes things?

Ben French

That's uh...that's some powerful fluorescent lightbulbs.

Miyaa

I don’t believe cicadas are attracted to light. I’m thinking it’s a weird fancy moth. I think the purposes of cicadas is to be just dumb enough to let every other bird and insect feast on them every 17 years, breed like mad, and then let their remains feed the plants like crazy.

Matt Grayson

Same thing happened with a pigeon and a flying roomba.

BioYuGi

Did this get posted out of order? It feels like we missed an entire comic where Faye is looking inside him. "I see a bug. " "Like a software issue?" "No this thing."

Captain Button

Wait, we haven't even shipped DM yet!

doctor mandibles no

Lana Del Prey

I am genuinely charmed by full-bodied Pintsize

Uniquitous

I bet he wasn't even a real doctor

Matt Grayson

Melon: I know! I know! G!!

It also went from comic number 4600 to 4561, which is weird.

Wait… which other characters have exited?

Brian English

For a minute there, I thought Dr. Mandibles was going to go on a quest to find Sara. But then the Doctor found true enlightenment.

Ian Wolfe

O_o Damn, Faye, you need to get that light fixed! Bug-zapping is NOT a regular feature of those types of fixtures!

Jason Rock

Shoulda named it Arthur.

Andrew

Aw, I was hoping it would nest and build a massive chrysalis that we’d wonder about for at least a year before the cutest first of its kind 8-winged butterfly emerged... and then exactly this happened anyway.

Matt Byron

Long live Dr. Mandibles.

I look forward to seeing his entry in the cast page.

FU - The last thought of Dr. Mandibles.

Morgan McCauley

RIP Dr Mandibles, we hardly knew ye.

Thomas Halpin

RIP Dr. Mandibles. Teaching us to strive onward and upward no matter what if you wanna die unfulfilled.

When you can name something you have power over it. With great names comes great responsibility. Like keeping them alive, that’s a pretty great responsibility.

Bagge

Live fast! Die young!

Dr. Mandibles would probably have been an invasive species anyway.

Alternative ending: a huge pair of mandibles comes out of a hidden opening in the ceiling and catches the flying bug before withdrawing, the opening snapping shut behind them.

Absentia

rip Dr. Mandibles. we hardly knew ye.

Lucas Werkmeister

Moses (cat at Elliot's apartment building) entered and left within two strips, but yeah, this seems like a pretty strong contender for shortest-lived named character.

Leak

Then it turns out Pintsize's new body also came with a conscience, and now he'll forever be haunted by what happened to Dr. Mandibles...

Atashkada

If we're really really nitpicky Pintsize was only planning to name them, so they were not technically named yet, so named characters are still safe. :D

Doctor Mandibles, NOOOOO!

Matthew Harris

Maybe that was his best life

Mark

I was reminded of Pinball, the hedgehog in Mason "Tailsteak" Williams' since-concluded (and at times vaguely QC-ish) strip Leftover Soup, but it lasted 16 strips before it was brutally killed. http://www.leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=105 http://www.leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=121

Maybe it’s only taken me till now to notice, but is pintsizes new body the same model as lemon/melon?

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Just reading Leftover Soup for the first time, since this is the first I've heard of it. Amazing that a strip with art that bad could last more than 1000 pages... Still, Jeph... *cough cough*

5 panels. Let's see if you can beat that ever. I feel there might be a Melon experiment that could do something

Scotty

Did I miss a comic. Where did the bug come from?

Gaz

F for Doctor Mandibles

Doc Gumby

Who else wants a 'Free Dr. Mandibles!' T-shirt?

Darnel D Cooper

Awww. I wanted to see Pintsize in pieces with faye grumbling as she yanks a part saying "Nope" then replacing it with another part and Pintsize saying stuff like,... "Do I even need that?" and faye saying "Quiet".

Yelling Bird

I'M A RESPONSIBLE BUG OWNER! MY CRABS ARE HEALTHEY AND HUGE!

Kriss Pang

Look at pintsize being all self aware and everything

Summer Sudbrink

Faye's Voice: "Dr. Mandibles, beetlenaut. A bug barely alive. Gentlefriends, we can rebuild him, we have the technology..."
