Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for August 21, 2011
Transcript:
Bucky: Come on, Satchel! Make a word! Satchel: I'm not sure I have a word... My vowels are tight... Bucky: Hurry up or the bran muffin of impatience will lash out! Satchel: I'm spelling as fast as I can! You tell that muffin to relax! Bucky: 8... 2... 9... 3... 7... Times up! Satchel: That Bran muffin exploded my vowels. I'm not playing anymore! Bucky: Your vowels can't handle the fiber! Bucky: Scrabble is all fun and games until someone loses an "I."

Is Satchel chasing windmills? (see panel 2)

This reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Homer’s Scrabble panel spelled out the word OXIDIZE.

With Bucky it’s always all about the “I”.

8 tiles…

Eight tiles because Darby used this strip already in 2008? We’ve had this Bran-themed strip stuck on our muffin cabinet for three years now. Good to see it again. Hope Darby’s enjoying his summer vacation.

He could only play all his tiles if this is the first move of the game.

Even though Satchel has one more tile than he’s supposed to have, according to The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, Quixotic is a valid word.

This is an old one. Classic but still old. What’s going on?

Quixotic – enthusiastic for visionary ideals; extravagantly generous and chivalrous. Yep. a real word.

This strip reminds me vividly of one friend amongst my Scrabble buddies who would occasionally take umbrage at a play and smack the board, scattering tiles about the room much in the manner that my Scrabble buddies and I are now scattered. This bran of humor on Bucky’s part is very well known, it would seem.

Satchel has it Doc. Buckey gave it to him.
Eight tiles disqualified Satchel anyways…..

The word Satchel has spelled out is quite apt for trying to play any normal game with Bucky.
