It's fun to see comic strips from before everything became instantly referencable at the push of a button. Like what are these weird Mosquito-headed hornets? I choose to believe that the artist could not be arsed to look up pictures of hornets at the library or bookstore, so they filled in (or hallucinated :D) their knowledge gaps on hornet anatomy by making stuff up.
I read one of his behind the scenes books (artist is Gary Lawson). If my memory is correct, he had to crank at least one of these out a day and there were times where he wouldn't have a good idea until later in the day. When that happened he sometimes threw his hands up at problems he would otherwise fix. Given the schedule, I don't blame him for saying these fly wasps were good enough haha.
Good insight. Seems to fit the puzzle. I also suspect time constraints to be the biggest factor behind the "can't be arsed" part and not the artist's laziness.
the sign should realistically say 24/7
Most Hornet species are actually pretty chill fellas. Wasps otoh... not so much.
Can't say, my only experience is with Killer Hornets defending their newly aquired raised garden bed
They do actually sleep, they become very lethargic and slow at night. Unless it's a murder hornet, those fuckers are fueled by Satan himself.
The other hours are furious hours, this is their downtime

Not everything needs a solution.
