He’s eaten pretty much the entire rear end of the cannon – the rust is lining the hole, through which you can see the interior. The bug doesn’t mess around when there’s a meal to be had.
Well, for it to be an effective cannon design, capable of holding the cannon ball in the barrel, there must’ve been more to it than what was pictured within the larger sphere. Weakened by rust and partially eaten, the remains of that additional metal work could get blasted backwards while still providing just enough structure to direct enough impact forward to push the remains of the cannon ball out the nose. Or maybe it’s just a cartoony comic moment.

And there’s Rusty.
Not like Rusty to waste a perfectly good iron core.
Maybe this metal tastes bad. Either that or he was not eating everything in order to do more damage.
Iron core
Baltimore
Who’s your friend …
Rusty wasn’t led by the nose! He was led by the other end!
Is the yellow stuff supposed to be rust? Or is it the actual metal core of the cannon showing though?

the yellow looks to be a grinning mouth and mustache painted on the front of the cannon making the barrel the cannon’s nose
Well you did tell him to eat it. XD
And here comes Maddie…
In panel 5 Rusty looks very much like a puppy who is about to steal the last slice of pizza. 😛
Oh yes
But that’s what he gets for forgetting the composition of his enemies’ party
Well worth the wait 🙂
Exactly what I was expecting but still awesome
I feel sorry for Mike having to cope with all these overly intelligent readers.
yuuup but he loves us anyways 😀
“Apple core”
“Baltimore”
“Who’s your friend?”
“Scary clown”
LOL niiiice 😀
Epic. Completely failed to see this coming, but so perfect.
Should have used a Bronze cannon.
Rusty can eat gold, that wouldnt have helped
How would the cannon fire with the back eaten? Its driving me nuts.

Cartoon physics.. It works because it is funny.
Also, the hot gasses appear to have left the barrel before the remains of the cannonball.
The cannon didn’t fire. The propellant went off, then Rusty shoved the mostly-eaten cannonball core out the barrel.
Rusty may not look it, but he’s a seasoned webcomic professional. He’ll go the distance for a good sight gag.
He missed his chance to say “Boom, headshot!” You know, because it’s a face that shoots and… I’ll see myself out.
Aaaaand that’s Rusty’s “prophecy” from Zar.
