Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for June 22, 2011

Keep an eye on your wallet, Rob; remember the charge for the ’coon suit?

Isn’t it interesting the way Bucky has it all figured out? Now if he could, just once, get it all to come together the way he wants it to…..

Put your foot down, Rob. Good for you!

Unlimited tuna and more. Not!

There he goes trying to use Rob as his Sugar Daddy yet again…

@TTM: Now I notice that from his angle, he can’t see Bucky at all. He’s looking at nothing in particular that we can tell. It’s a pretty common fault in cartoons, dating back at least to the ’60s Looney Tunes.

Spending silly money? The Buckster’s getting into counterfeiting?

Bucky wants Rob to be his Tuna Daddy. ~ You can tune a fiddle, but you can’t play Rob like one.

I want to see some “Real Housepets of the Northeast” strips!

Very blue in this comic today.

TTM, it’s probably a cartooning standard, like how everybody in cartoons always bite the middle of a sandwich, (almost always at the bottom), when most people bite the corner, unless it’s cut in half, which usually doesn’t happen in cartoons…Nobody leaves apple cores like they do in cartoons, either.

BTW, I’d love to see inside Bucky’s mind in panel 4. At least I think I do….

Whoa I was just typing a comment and it disappeared. If it ends up that I posted the same thought twice I apologise, but it sure doesn’t seem to be here.

Anyway….. if you’re speaking with another actor in a play, you traditionally would both be directed to face outward towards the audience at about a 45% angle. That allows them to see expressions and emotions - and also watch the lips move, which aids comprehension.A cartoonist poses his “actors” in little vignettes in a frame, which is very theatrical, in a way.They’re probably set facing us most of the time for the same reasons stage directors use - except we usually can’t catch their lips moving. Of course, a cartoonist can also use the movie director’s option — the “camera” cutting from face to opposing face, but that takes more film, or a longer comic strip.

I hate the stupid -strikethrough feature
