Bug
I am afraid of becoming a hippie! I am living the hippie lifestyle now kind of, and that makes me afraid. Then I realize I have a lot of baths to take and a lot of Phish concerts to not go to before I can really consider becoming a hippie.
We have a local group of people called the Pedal People who are picking up the trash for us now! That's honestly as hippie as I'm willing to get. At some point in my obituary, I want the phrase "conspicuosly ostentatious" to occur. Hippiedom strictly forbids that type of thing.

I have hung out with the pedal people before they are pretty cool people! I wonder why they didn't post any unicycle photos in their gallery. They have a bunch of awesome crazy modified bikes, like a mountain bike with the seat/handlebars raised ten feet off the road and is too scary for most people to ride. Jeff don't worry you won't be a hippie until you pass through the patchouli barrier. Not killing bugs could be caused by any number of non-hippie-related changes. Maybe you are turning into a buddhist. Or a giant insect.
My father never kills bugs unless he has to. He'll pick them up very gently and throw them outside. I always found it very admirable for some reason, and I think of it every time I reflexively kill a spider or a fly. Then I feel bad about myself.
I used to be a hippie, back before I became a brain in a jar. Now I prefer to be called a freak.
Once I thought I killed a fly by clapping my hands together and swatting it. The fly fell to the floor, dead (or so I thought). I went to the bathroom to get a tissue to, you know, give it a proper burial and all, and as soon as I came back the fly stirred, then buzzed away.
That fly was like Jesus, man.

I don't get what's happening. Did you kill the fly? Did the fly kill you?
Previous post deleted due to my punctuation freak ways.
No offense to web-comicers, but I think that if you make a webcomic for a living, while people like my father, and the fathers of plenty do hard labour for a living, then a lot of people will see you as a hippy...'
An Internet Hippy... Inter-Hip-E

I'm sorry, but I don't get it either. What's going on here. More of us are hippies than we'd like to admit.
What's wrong with being a hippie?
My mom is a hippie and she is ultra cool. Go mom!
I agree, I need more depth in the bug's struggle.
You guys don't get it. Hippies (and rock stars) are like bad air.
We have to get rid of them.
I didn't get is yesterday, either, but I do now.
There's this bug on his desk, so he swats it and throws it to the floor, thinking it's dead. But the bug isn't dead! He wakes up angry to have been swatted, and then he realizes how lucky he is to be alive. He ends up so happy, he does a little bug happy dance right there on the floor.
"After that I killed like a hundred bugs and didn't feel bad about any of them." Because they probably survived, you see.
At least, I think that's how it goes.
