0This happens to me all the time and each time, it is terrifying; more terrifying than Dracula because ticks are real and Dracula is kind of a douche. I think I could take him in a fight. I could probably take a tick in a fight as well, but it would just be really hard to see and my vision is not perfect.
Ticks are awful little things, they’re one of the few creatures on this earth that I really despise. It could be the fact that they’re gross and like to suck your blood and, unlike Dracula, they won’t sleep with you before-hand. It could also be the fact that I once had Lyme Disease. Lyme disease is no laughing matter folks, not unless you turn it into a joke. Maybe something about putting the Lyme in the coconut, I don’t know. Needless to say, actually having Lyme Disease is a wretched experience. I was left a smoking husk of a human for something like a month, feeling nothing but incredible tiredness and pain. The worst part of the whole thing is that I only ended up missing something like a week of classes. That was the real bummer.
If you don’t want to be phenomenally ill during the summer, please check yourselves for ticks if you’ve been outside rolling about in the grass (as I so often do) or if you’ve been running around in the forest or just hanging out around various tick playgrounds.
And while you’re at it, keep an eye out for Draculas. They’re pretty nasty too.

Ticks are evil, vile things.
I know everything has a purpose and a place in the ecosystem,
but will someone please tell me what good ticks are for!
While your at it, tell me about the tick’s eviler cousin the mosquito!
Those buggers are worse than ticks!
Yes, I know I could use a repellent, but I don’t want to use any chemicals,
and I haven’t found a good natural repellent that works…
Well the few that work really well, (citronella and citrus oils),
I can’t stand the smell of!

(Back to the comic…)
Why on Earth would K be rolling in the grass for 3 hours?
Also, what happened to his nose? It looks like a little carrot!
Opps! Re-reading that I caught a few mistakes!
My keyboard is messing up on me!
You’re, NOT your!
Also my sentence structure and formating has gone all haywire…
must also be because it’s like 2 AM in the morning and I haven’t slept in
over… er, I’m not sure exactly… I can’t think straight…
I guess they’re food for small birds.
Me and the dog haven’t picked up any ticks for the last 2 years and we live out in the Hampshire countryside; did pick up a leech though, that was painful
I think that current opinion is that you just leave the leech alone and it drops off and doesn’t do (much?) harm.
Remember thousands of mediæval doctors can’t all be wrong.
Can they??
Huh???
I’m mildly curious as to what it says about me that when I read “moles” I automatically inferred the animals, not the skin problems.
Hmm,
Might you be of animal in nature?
or a gardener….
Maybe you don’t have the skin problem, so you didn’t relate at first.
Simply put. probably a difference in viewpoints.
Good thing Lil K caught that they were moles *before* picking them off. Ouch!
His expression is great in the first panel, pure euphoria expressed through your refined pen. Very detailed, precise work.
Thank you for making me laugh.
One time I was visiting my grandparents in Michigan, and as I was lying in bed I felt one of the moles on my back and realized it was unusually hard. A little more poking and I realized that it was actually a NEW mole, near another of my usual moles. I kept poking, hoping it wasn’t somehow cancerous, when a side of it swung off — was it a scab then? Well, I didn’t want to make a bunch of noise investigating, so I decided to just fall asleep. In the morning, when I pulled off my sheets, I found a little tick corpse, apparently poked and picked to death.
As a man without a single mole, I cannot relate to you.
We live in different worlds…
As a man* with a single mole, I am often a terrible wingman. Mole chicks, man, they’re all so underground.
*May not actually be a man.
That was awesome. Not real sure about the underground people not hiding your keys ’til you can fake a straight line, but a hummer line.
I am a huge fan of your art style and Strips….I am hooked on it big time.
I was a mess when my kitten had fleas, every spot was a possible flea. Usually they were just freckles. SOMETIMES!
Of course I posted the comment on the wrong page the first time with no way to delete it >:|
Tics are terrifying. You are just going around your business and -WAIT WHAT IS THAT LUMP. And you can’t get it off and it is twitching and you get it off and it leaves this mark that turns in to a scar, even though you’ve had worse injuries that didn’t turn in to scars, for no reason other than to remind you of the infernal beast that latched on to you.
That is terrifying. I’m glad you were able to recover so well. Lyme disease has been known to kill grown men. Take those ticks seriously! This is war.
Take moles seriously, too. Melanoma…
Sorry, I think I’m feeling dark, tonight.
Ticks (In our Country “Zecke”) are the reason, why you cant sleep in grass anymore. Even, if you use a blanket, they will come for you.
I’m just gonna sit here and laugh at the ‘Lyme in the coconut’ joke like an insensitive twat…
I had a tick in my eyebrow a long while ago. I didn’t notice for a couple days, which turned out to be quite awkward.
I feel ticks and bedbugs crawled from the same corner of Hell. Kinda wish they would go back.
I always love a good Nilsson reference, but I wish more people would reference “You’re Breakin’ My Heart”. That song is the best.
ah yes. only the harbingers of SKIN CANCER.
Early this year the doctors thought I had Lyme in a far state. After some more research (including a spinal tap, which sucks) I was happy to hear it wasn’t. The happiness lasted for about three seconds, as I was then told I had MS. But still, 3 seconds of pure joy!
I had Lyme disease, my knee swelled up to the point where I could barely walk, but it wasn’t too bad.
