Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for September 21, 2020

Canine Fisk’s language is a bit twisted but his meaning is coming through. Rob has to protect his sweet little kitty (gag). Maybe when Satchel gets back he can help unwind this story.

Bucky may not see it coming but odds are he’s had coming.

Is this a distant relative of “Pearls Before Swine’s” Larry the Croc?

Did Satch take out a contract on the little bugger?

Somehow, I got the impression of Eastern European or a Russian…? I could be mistaken.

Come right in.

I think Rob’s “Hmm” means he’s considering the offer. Good for him!

Get in line, fella!

Of course Bucky is mean. He a Siamese cat. I’ve never met one that wasn’t mean.

Pinkish , Bucky will need that can of Cologne he had the other day ago ;-)

Oh, heck. Let him in .

This is a dog, not a ferret…

His name is Jurgen Döggen …

He’s a Swiss Alsatian…. another friend of Satchel’s, which is why Satchel gave him the peanut brittle… not knowing it was a trick can.

Filthy Frazier is bigger and crazier, and once attacked Rob.

And Jurgen’s not illiterate or ignorant, like Larry the Croc… he merely isn’t a native English speaker… and has a heavy foreign accent.

I don’t remember, if I ever knew, which language he speaks… and no, not “Swiss”… LOL.

Probably German, French, or Italian….but knowing how Darby likes the esoteric, possibly Romansh.

I feel sorry for immigrants, when people think they’re ignorant just because of their accents.

The ferrets are smaller, and Fungo is mostly white…

I think he has black on his muzzle… gotta look him up again.

though some characters in this strip have changed colors over the years of re-runs, probably due to different colorists.

Like Mac Manc McManx… who has been white, partly yellow, and all yellow.

In any case, Fungo is very literate and well spoken.

HTH

A fair point.

Well that certainly cleared things up.

His name isn’t Fisk (that was the MLB player who’s bat he has). His name is Fungo, I think.

Rob: “I’M THINKING, OKAY?”

Isn’t that the state nowadays? I got pranked, so now I must exact revenge… or more…

why are these reruns?

I wish him all success.

Well, this would be an example of what is called “disproportionate response” – but one can’t expect animals to understand the legal system. However, that did look like a signature Carlton Fisk bat – Bucky definitely not worth getting that messed up! Find a broom handle or something.

“Batter Up!”

Ah I was right.
