DeBug is a clever fellow with four hands of golden yellow. The bug cracks codes, can be grumpy and is often cross and jumpy. Some time ago, next to a louse, he had learned to click a mouse. He became an I.T. scholar who is so hot underneath his collar. Puzzles buzz on his outside once they leave his inside side. He taps on smart keys and then flits to fetch his treasured knitting kit.
