Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for May 12, 2016

A monomaniacal illiberal pussycat! He’s focused on what he considers evil—at least until someone dances a laser-light around him or jerks a ribbon around. Like his various enterprises, the Buckster can’t stay focused on anything for long. Except when he perceives one of his nine lives is in danger from the fury of a furry ferret!

Probably…

I think that means play “with” a ribbon

Ever see a cat play with a piece of string? They love ribbon too.

So those pinko commie historians have been lying to us all these years. It was ferrets, not the plague, that wiped out the Italian population in the 14th century.Luckily, the Renaissance came along and destroyed the weasel city-states.

Here ya go.

So that we call the black plague was actually ferrets? Thanks for the Decamerone, then.

I know how to respond to that! You don’t!

I don’t want to sound like a marten-et, but I mustelid you that Bucky’s theory otter be explored in more detail.

(There. That ought to keep people busy.)

I never really got these, “hur hur hur this guy is racist”

They say it was fleas on rats that caused the plague. But maybe, the translation was wrong. Not rats but ferrets. Also, who are ‘they’ they speak of?

No wonder Italians hate ferrets! I certainly can’t blame them.

The word I used is “illiberal”—means “not liberal”.

Seriously—where does Conley come up with this stuff?? Pretty masterful dialogue once again. Well done!
