Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for July 29, 2013
Transcript:
Bucky: Oh my heads... what's that smell?! Satchel: My aromatherapy diffuser! I just got it! Bucky: Aroma therapy? Try aroma hostility... Aromassault... Satchel: Huh? Bucky: What's the scent named? "Essence of wet dog put into a milk carton and left under a radiator"? Satchel: No, it says "summer breeze." Bucky: Keep reading the fine print, Satch. Satchel: ..."wafting over a route 9 possum pancake, day 5"... well, that explains why I'm hungry.

If you grill road kill right your guests will get pass the smell. Your neighbor will even eat the driveway disaster and never miss his cat.

A repeat from two years ago. But I remember this series! Absolutely hilarious. My favorite after the series where Bucky attempts to make lemonade.

Bet lots of R&D went into developing that scent.

This one hits home to me. []I work as a courier for a local newspaper.[]There’s an electric plug-in air freshener in the office.[]The staff on the day shift crank it up to maximum and leave it on all day. []They call it quits at 5 PM.[]I come in some time around 2 AM to prep the office so that we can receive and process the papers. []That’s 9 hours in which the air freshener is on maximum inside of a closed building. []Suffice to say that the first thing I do upon walking in each night is "unplug the thing’, and even then the scent is often so overwhelming that I have to step outside as soon as the office is prepped.

Dunestrider said Opossums as O’Possums like O’Reily or O’brian which are irish names.

I love it when you guys discuss an ARTIST as though he’s a typist or a retail sales clerk.
Oooh…. he missed a day of WORK????And he needs a good excuse? What percentage of your 3 cents a day for 250 comics should have lured him to the studio?OH…. maybe you don’t even PAY the 3 cents a day?
Darby Conley produces ART, whenever he can dream it up, or skip his day job, or on whatever schedule works for him.
Get Fuzzy is among the very most-subscribed strips on GoComics…. and sells, re-runs and all, to more newspapers than most cartoonists can even dream of.
(Of the current Universal strips, I think maybe only Pearls B4 Swine and Nonsequitur outdraw it, online….but RE-RUNS of Calvin and Hobbes blow everything else away.)
It’s so popular, in any case, that the syndicate is obviously happy to buy as many as Conley can or wants to produce…. and even the re-runs draw a crowd.
Could Shakespeare have hired an assistant to toss out a few odes when he was having a dry spell?
Do you refuse to look at a Old Master painting if the artist produced too few? Should he have hired a hack to round out the numbers?
Right!

I’ve been ready Darby for a long time…even own some of the books, but I have to say that Bucky is starting to get on my nerves.
