Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for January 09, 2017

Point to Mr. Satchel!

I dunno, writing your own biography might be kind of fun. Especially if you bounce between the most exciting and fun parts (Roald Dahl’s “Boy” and “Flying Solo”), or heavily embellish it to the point of making it pure entertainment (anything by Jean Shepherd).

Maya Angelou wrote somewhere around a dozen autobiographies, so a sequel isn’t that far-fetched. Bucky, however, doesn’t fetch, so he should stick with one.

My favorite is Charles Barkley claiming that he was misquoted in his autobiography.

Chuck Barris’s “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” was subtitled “An Unauthorized Autobiography”.

“Bucky Katt Part 2: Dear God, Make It Stop!”

I love it when Satchel gets the best line!

One of the best assignments I ever got in HS English was to write my own obituary — the way I’d want it to read decades later. That one assignment did more for my subsequent life than all the guidance counselors and well-meant parental advice put together.

If you want something trippy, read Craig Ferguson’s autobiography American On Purpose. I have it in front of me now.

Well, he is a cat, so technically his autobiography should have eight sequels!
