Enjoy this Classic Tom the Dancing Bug Every Thursday Vintage 1997 Panels from the annals of the Tom the Dancing Bug archive Check back every Friday for a fresh, brand new Tom the Dancing Bug! Tom the Dancing Bug Comic Strip. by Ruben Bolling There circles the sun another earth, a COUNTER-EARTH, whose diametrically opposed orbit keeps it forever beyond our detection. Let us explore this strange world that is not quite the opposite of our own -- but SOMEWHAT DISSIMILAR IN CERTAIN WAYS! Counter-Earth Sun Earth COUNTER-EARTH SENIOR CITIZENS. On Counter-Earth, the elderly take a RATIONAL APPROACH to their limited time remaining -- they live out their golden years in KICK-BUTT GEAR!! Man: GANGWAY! IN A RUSH! With only a few years left of their lives anyway, they're willing to take on ANY RISK. Man: What have I got to LOSE? Five lousy years?! The risks of unprotected sex are laughable to these declining daredevils. Man: Back to my place for some hubba-hubba? Woman: Ah, why not? And the long-term effects of DRUGS hold no threat to these geriatric thrill-seekers. Man: The colors... Woman: LA LA LA In fact, all criminal behavior is undeterred by conventional punishments. Judge: For killing your landlord, I sentence you to LIFE! Man: HA! What a bargain! Of course, on Counter-Earth the draft age starts at 70 -- what better soldier is there than one with only a few years left anyway? Man: Me first! Man #2: Lemme at 'em! Conversely, the young on Counter-Earth, with 50-60 years ahead of them, are cowering, risk-phobic shut-ins. Old Man: I'm going parasailing. See ya. Young Man: CLOSE THE DOOR! YOU'RE LETTING IN A DRAFT!
