Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for April 13, 2014

Dumb and dumber!

Funny on so many levels.

Bucky, go back to your closet.

I am so stealing that line….There is a character in Dog Island, by Patricia Cornwell. Her name is Windy Breese. She always mangles cliches…A staple in the finger is worth two in the butt…A penny is mightier than the word…..She does it so often that the people she works with understand what she means, and in fact are starting to get a little vague on what the original cliches actually were….So now they use hers…..

I can explain it to you, but I cannot understand it for you.

I was driving around north of Lake Superior and came upon a stop sign. Of course, in bold letters the red octagonal sign said STOP….And of course, right next to the word somebody had spar painted “eh?” So it reads Stop, eh? I had to laugh…

Canajun’s eh?

love the picture collection…Satch is so cool!

“You’re so dumb, I get confused”

Sounds like Bucky has been watching Fox News again.

Hey, Bucky, gimme a break. I use that on my co-workers. It works prety well, ‘cuz it’s MOSTLY an act.

Must remember to use Bucky’s last line on a few people I know…

That’s so funny I can’t stop laughing. Trouble is, I have an old friend who is the human embodiment of Bucky. He’s like him in every way except the cat body, and I think they’re both in about the same physical shape, for that matter. So when I read this strip, daily, I’m hearing Bucky’s voice and seeing his mannerisms as though they were real, because they are to me. Endearing? No. Not that kind of memories. Funny? Yes.

DC is very fond of acronyms. Perhaps that’s why drivers here seem to think STOP means Step Toe On Pedal, with no indication which pedal or for how long.

Best stop sign: STOP… then, hand-lettered paper sign taped underneath, “Then Proceed”. Gotta wonder about the traffic jam that prompted that one.

Nice to see Satchel has a maple leaf on his wall in honor of his heritage (or pedigree, as the case may be).

Over the Pacific where I live our stop signs are triangular and say: 止まれ.

Patricia Cornwell wrote a book called Dog Island? I thought I had read everything she’s written! I’ll have to check my library.
