Look at pintsize being all self aware and everything
I'M A RESPONSIBLE BUG OWNER! MY CRABS ARE HEALTHEY AND HUGE!
Awww. I wanted to see Pintsize in pieces with faye grumbling as she yanks a part saying "Nope" then replacing it with another part and Pintsize saying stuff like,... "Do I even need that?" and faye saying "Quiet".
Who else wants a 'Free Dr. Mandibles!' T-shirt?

Did I miss a comic. Where did the bug come from?
it just appear on this one.
5 panels. Let's see if you can beat that ever. I feel there might be a Melon experiment that could do something
Maybe it’s only taken me till now to notice, but is pintsizes new body the same model as lemon/melon?
I was reminded of Pinball, the hedgehog in Mason "Tailsteak" Williams' since-concluded (and at times vaguely QC-ish) strip Leftover Soup, but it lasted 16 strips before it was brutally killed. http://www.leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=105 http://www.leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=121
Just reading Leftover Soup for the first time, since this is the first I've heard of it. Amazing that a strip with art that bad could last more than 1000 pages... Still, Jeph... *cough cough*
Maybe that was his best life
Doctor Mandibles, NOOOOO!
If we're really really nitpicky Pintsize was only planning to name them, so they were not technically named yet, so named characters are still safe. :D
Then it turns out Pintsize's new body also came with a conscience, and now he'll forever be haunted by what happened to Dr. Mandibles...
Moses (cat at Elliot's apartment building) entered and left within two strips, but yeah, this seems like a pretty strong contender for shortest-lived named character.
He had negative lifetime, because didn't he die years ago?
rip Dr. Mandibles. we hardly knew ye.
Alternative ending: a huge pair of mandibles comes out of a hidden opening in the ceiling and catches the flying bug before withdrawing, the opening snapping shut behind them.
Straight out of a Hanners Nightmare
Dr. Mandibles would probably have been an invasive species anyway.
But not, apparently, an evasive species.
Live fast! Die young!
When you can name something you have power over it. With great names comes great responsibility. Like keeping them alive, that’s a pretty great responsibility.
RIP Dr. Mandibles. Teaching us to strive onward and upward no matter what if you wanna die unfulfilled.
RIP Dr Mandibles, we hardly knew ye.
FU - The last thought of Dr. Mandibles.
I look forward to seeing his entry in the cast page.
Long live Dr. Mandibles.
Aw, I was hoping it would nest and build a massive chrysalis that we’d wonder about for at least a year before the cutest first of its kind 8-winged butterfly emerged... and then exactly this happened anyway.
Shoulda named it Arthur.
idk. sounds more like a plant name to me.
O_o Damn, Faye, you need to get that light fixed! Bug-zapping is NOT a regular feature of those types of fixtures!
Wait… which other characters have exited?
Yeah, she was eaten by an allosaurus.

Melon: I know! I know! G!!
I bet he wasn't even a real doctor
Got em
I am genuinely charmed by full-bodied Pintsize
doctor mandibles no
Wait, we haven't even shipped DM yet!
Did this get posted out of order? It feels like we missed an entire comic where Faye is looking inside him. "I see a bug. " "Like a software issue?" "No this thing."
It also went from comic number 4600 to 4561, which is weird.
Same thing happened with a pigeon and a flying roomba.
That's uh...that's some powerful fluorescent lightbulbs.
Shut da hell up. There's robots.

All things considered that was probably the best outcome
Certainly not for Doctor Mandibles!
It's a cicada, isn't it? They can make it to Mass, can't they?
I don’t believe cicadas are attracted to light. I’m thinking it’s a weird fancy moth. I think the purposes of cicadas is to be just dumb enough to let every other bird and insect feast on them every 17 years, breed like mad, and then let their remains feed the plants like crazy.
Plus a hazardous waste disposal fee.
The script read: "Exit Dr. Mandibles (Stage ZAP!)"
Also that light's going on your bill.
RIP
At least it wasn’t crabs

R.I.P. P.S. can I get a Doctor Mandibles shirt?
this makes me sad
Farewell Doctor Mandibles, we hardly knew ye…
