Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for July 15, 2022

Shadowfax…

Didn’t Mister Roger’s Neighborhood have a puppet called Donkey Hodie?

Are there more than one of her?

That’s the “G” rated edition.

Gives me a new perspective on the Trojan Horse.

You can lead a horticulture, but you can’t make her think.

Let it be, Rob. One illusion at a time.

There’s only one to watch folks. It’s a beautiful day for the race. Stu Chan is the favorite today. Assault is in there. Dog Bisquit is three to one. Safety pin has been scratched. And at twenty to one, Beetlebaum.

Go play Donkey Kong, Rob!

Satchel needs to read more. There’s The Black Stallion, Black Beauty, and Misty of Chincoteague, just to name a few from my childhood.

No, it’s not his name.

I looked into riding that horse of Babylon, but it appears to have been ridden so much that it’s worn out.

I believe Don is his title, not his name.

I don’t think donkeys are equines.they share a family (Equidae), and genus (Equus), but different species.

or something.

The first time I heard of Don Quixote I was quite young and I, too, thought his name was Donkey Hoté, dear Satchel.

Mr. Ed !!! maybe not literary but a character nonetheless!

H’mmm. As long as Satchel is making Biblical references, how about Balaam’s a*s?

And, the horse’s name is Rocinante. Satchel’s day of woe continues.

Ee Or

His name was NOT “Don”. “Don” in “Don Quixote” is an honorific title accorded to him as an educated man.

Behold, the horse of Babylon!!

There was A Man Called Horse. Why not Donkey?

There goes Satchel again, tilting at windmills …!

This is a GALA day for you.

Well, a GAL a day is enough for me!

Groucho Marx

Thanks for the laugh, Darby. I needed it.

A Man Called Horse

Love the Mister Rogers Neighborhood references.

Is Satchel thinking of the reference in the Apocalypse? The specific term being banned from this page.

hi yo silver

No, his name is Quixote. “Don” in this case is the Spanish equivalent of “Mr.”

For heaven sake, Rob, don’t correct him on this one!
