This is based on a real life ATTACK on me and my girlfriend a couple weeks back. We awoke one muggy summer night to the sounds of buzzing and the scritch scratch of the two of us clawing away at our injured bodies, desperate for sweet relief. To my horror, I had left the window slightly ajar at the top, sans window screen. In my error I had let loose the demon horde into my quiet sanctuary.
It was traumatizing. I spent the next hour, sometime around 4am, finding and destroying every damn mosquito in that room. The worst part is that they must have been feasting for some time, because each death was a tiny explosion of our recently ingested blood.
It was a gruesome scene, one even the most grisly of blood spatter analysts would have found difficult to stomach.
On a different note, faaaaaaaaaaceboooooooooook. eh? eh?
Oh and also, twwwwiiiiiiitttteeerrrrrrrrr. eh? eh? EH?
sometimes, *sniff* …i can still hear the buzzing in the night *sniff* …they were everywhere, EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU!!!
it was honestly probably within the top 10 worst nights of my life. *shudders

I think this one would be improved by playing with the emphasis in your lettering – even something as simple as using bold on a few words. “What the fuck?!” could be “What the FUCK?!”. I think it would add to the comedy that in this instance the character is really emphasizing the swearing.
When the other character says Summer is coming, it would work well to put it in quotation marks, making it more obviously an under-dramatic code phrase. I think having the word bubbles outlined in black would help here, too, given that they overlap in that fifth panel.
Totally love THEY HAVE COME, haha.
