Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for May 05, 2024

I would work better if he made it into a banana cream pie, and then hit him in the face.

How ’bout if I rang your neck?

That invention does not “A-Peel” to me, Bucky!

I’m gonna’ make like that banana & split!

Q: What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back?

A: A stick.

My money is on Satch agreeing to continue to assist in the product development.

I’ve waved the thing all over the place

Practiced till I was black in the face

I’m a big disgrace to the Aborigine race

My boomerang won’t back

Satch: “Here! I’ll help you with the RETURN part!!”

I don’t know, it rang his bell.

Here, monkey, have a banana

Accosted with a Banana? Could have been worse, like an Elderberry or a loaded Raspberry….What if he came at you with a “pointy stick”

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

Looks like it’s more a thwakanana or whoosharang.

That opening “Whoosh” made me think Bucky was developing a compressed air banana bazooka or something. He must have a mighty throwing style to get a whoosh out of a banana. When I fling a banana, it is silent, like a ninja throwing star…

It took me a few seconds to remember “boomerang”. When a Dad-joke form of a word is really good, it drives out the correct for a while. My sister and I cracked each other up for a couple of minutes when we were kids by abusing the word “potato”. By the time we were done, neither of us was sure how to pronounce it, which cracked us up more.

The last panel…Bucky has a way with words. Or else I’m becoming fluent in “Buckyspeak”. Not sure how I feel about that.

It takes a skilled eye and experience to check for proper curve and twist on Boomerangs and bananas.

If a boomerang hits its target, it doesn’t return, either. So we can’t be certain the bananarang wouldn’t have returned to Bucky. This is a comic strip, after all. The laws of physics don’t always apply.

Come Mister tally man tally me banana.

So if it hadn’t hit Satchel’s head it would have supposedly come back to Bucky?

Another Failure

Bucky looks adorable in the “That’s Correct” panel.

But I’m not fooled.
