“Do you Vacuum…” by Michaela Chan.

By Comics, Featured, Featured Comics

"Do You Vacuum dot dot dot" is the prompt for several panels that surround a massive vacuum.  Do you vacuum underneath? The figure squats and vacuums underneath the legs of three friends reading books on a couch.  Do you vacuum as if the vacuum is a plow? The figure shoves aside boxes and cans with the vacuum nose.  Do you vacuum to tease the cat? The figure sticks their tongue out at a disgruntled kitty who frowns from its perch on top of a book shelf.  Do you vacuum to terrorize the dog? The vacuum head growls at the dog, who hides in a dark corner.  Do you vacuum until the cord unplugs? The vacuum hum diminishes as the cord pops out of the wall socket. The figure looks surprised and displeased. Do you vacuum the stairs? A stairwell crams the figure in a tight, improbable choreography with the ungainly vacuum.  Do you vacuum remotely? The Roomba-esque vacuum beeps and boops from its cage between chair legs. The Roomba-esque vacuum pings a message to the figure's phone that reads, "HELP VACUUM TRAPPED!"  Do you vacuum neurotically? A friend asks the figure, "Are you vacuuming the vacuum?" to which the figure, who is in fact vacuuming the vacuum replies, "It's dirty!"  Do you vacuum to cover up your singing? The hum of the vacuum, represented as a cacophony of "Rs," covers up the figure who scream-sings, "NEAR FAR WHERE EVER YOU ARE." The friends reading on the couch seem not to notice.  The final panel asks, "Do you vacuum at all?" The figure sits cross-legged among hopping dust bunnies.

Michaela Chan asks the age old question in her new comic… How do you vacuum, exactly?
