Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for February 24, 2016

If this ranking is just in terms of intelligence, and if it only looks at the most intelligent individuals in each group, molluscs may well rank higher than dogs, since they include cephalopods. The language skills (ability to remember the meaning of words and understand commands) of an octopus are probably less than those of a Border Collie but their problem-solving ability is superb. They are handicapped by their very short lifespan, which limits how much an individual octopus or squid can learn and develop, but if they ever throw up a species which lives for sixty years instead of two, before long they’ll be climbing out of the sea and demanding to pay for a fish supper with their credit card.

I don’t think dogs deserve this.

I put them in a lower position.

Aww, don’t listen to him, Satch. He’s twisted.

…and ferrets are where in Bucky’s evolution ratings?

I would bet Mr. Conley quit writing the daily Get Fuzzy Strip because he got so sick of reading these lame ass comments…

I read somewhere “The average dog is nicer than the average person”, after seeing the news recently I would go for smarter too.

Today’s strip was accidentally printed upside down.

Why even bother talking to a mollusk. Me thinks he exalts too much!

No, Bucky, you’re brain is revolting along with the rest of you.

Evolving or mutating?

Bucky’s not far off.

And it’s quite obvious where you rank
