Gnats are tiny, flying insects often described by adjective "dang." They're of the order Dipeterid, the suborder Nematocera, and often order take-out. Many people ask, "How do I get rid of gnats in my house?" Answer: try selling them insurance.

Dang Gnats!™ is a webcomic by Walt Jaschek. It stars two outspoken insects with too much time on their wings. As yet, we do not know the gender or name of the two gnats, or, really, if we're seeing the same two gnats every day. We like to think so. The strip's tagline is, "The comic that takes longer to read than to draw." Here's today's comic.
