Gene Killerbee?

This is a pun I would expect from Pastis over on “Pearls Before Swine.”

Isn’t it bad luck to open an umbrella inside?

Keep it up and you’ll be singing in the key of bee flat!

Yes, the Murder Hornet can tap dance.

Doing the buck and wing.

Odd thing is that he’s inside, he’s really just stinging in the dry comfortable area with a roof over his head!

Oh swell… Now that’ll be stuck in my head all day!

Followed by “Don’t Worry, Bee Happy”, “Honey”, and “Hive Got Heaven On My Mind”

Six legs, 5 with the umbrella, open up unheard of tap dancing possibilities.

Sun, no bees. No sun, bees. They don’t come out during the rain or the dark of night. But I like the comic and the Pastis-like pun!

“Murder Hornets: The Musical”

Except that you’re neither stingin’ nor in the rain at the moment.

Gene Kelly is weeping.
