ALONG CAME A GIRL
When I was a kid I had some pet crickets that… started eating each other. My fault. I didn’t feed them. Plus, I think crickets are carnivores, which I didn’t know at the time.
Anyway, this one cricket was the biggest and ended up eating all the others. So, to ‘punish’ him, I put him in a toy net and locked him up in a freezer… where he promptly froze solid. Later I sadistically left him out in the sun on an overturned cup – as if vultures would eat him or something. (I was a kid. Gimme a break….)
To my surprise… he thawed out and came back to life!! I think I let him go… impressed by this miracle of science.
This comic strip kinda reminds me of when I once dealt justice to a bug. That bug didn’t deserve it, but Jack probably does.

LUNA: "I got you now, you bad spider! Any last words?"
JACK: "Look, I didn't mean any harm! I was just havin' a little fun! Please! You gotta let me go! NO! WAIT! Don't let me go!"
I read an interesting article about Alaskan Wood frogs that can slow their metabolism down so much in winter that they become frogcicles and then they thaw out when the weather warms up and go back to living normally. They can even do this multiple times a season.
Yeah I think I’ve heard of them too. Also, I just saw a documentary about the two poles where a caterpillar lives for about 10-15 years before turning into a moth. It gets frozen over and over.
