For new readers, this comic takes place in my fictional Chagrin Falls, USA, where the Smythe family lives in satire. Here’s another installment:

After I sent this week’s comic out to the Inner Hive, and after I sent it to Boing Boing to be published, I realized that the cereal referenced in the title is not spelled “Coco Puffs” — I had somehow assumed a cute misspelling (a la “Froot Loops” or “Cap’n Crunch”) — but is actually spelled correctly: “Cocoa Puffs.”
So if you view the comic on BoingBoing, you’ll see a misspelled title. :(
I blame the Mandela Effect. I’m remembering Coco Puffs correctly; it’s just that I shifted Universe Cereal-Spelling Time Lines.

Hey, it’s BLACK FRIDAY, and I set up a way to send the new Tom the Dancing Bug books as a gift. I know there are a lot of people who won't be seeing the liked/loved ones this holiday season that they ordinarily would. And so it will be be difficult to hand them their present.
So I set up an order form for the Gift Super Fun Tom the Dancing Bug Book Package:
👉 Both books will be signed, dated and lavishly sketched;
👉 I'll include special signed bookmarks for each book;
👉 I'll send an exclusive pdf booklet of the making of the comics, with process pics;
👉 Personalized inscriptions - I'll sign the books to the recipient, and from you (if you'd like); and
👉 I'll even write on the package what date the recipient should save it until (if you'd like)
Information on how to order a Gift Super Fun Tom the Dancing Bug Book Package is HERE.
Please don’t push; form an orderly line….

This week’s Classic Tom the Dancing Bug (published on GoComics yesterday) is “God-Man, in ‘A Necessary Invention,’” from 2010.

This week’s GoComics Super-Fun-Pak Comix page featured comics from this installment (from 2000). It’s a happy coincidence that there’s an appropriately seasonal comic in there.

I hope you all had a wonderful, safe Thanksgiving!
