Follicle mites as standup comics. Bees too.

It sucks not to have eyes. Or butts. Biologist Jay Hosler, "doodler from birth," has produced a couple of graphic "novels" (oh, here I go again, on one of those fact vs. fiction rants) that gives voice to what many arthropods might say if only they could.

Here's a complaint from Nyuki, a bee larva, while she's being "capped" in the hive:

And here's a couple of hair follicle mites, trying to work up the nerve to ask Charles Darwin (upon whose left eyebrow they reside) why they don't have butts:

btw, "tuchis" is Yiddish for "butt."

Check out these gems in the graphic novel section:
Clan Apis and Sandwalk Adventures, both by Jay Hosler
