Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for September 18, 2011

i guess garfield would be proud of bucky. by the way, whats pretty goodum?

It’s Bucky’s world. The rest of us just get confused in it. . ..

My take…Bucky hears-ultimate ‘um, meaning best ’un(one). So he’s saying this book isn’t Garfield’s best, but it’s a pretty good one. ~ (I hope I’m not seriously answering a joking question? That’s not optimal : )

Don’t worry ProudArianne – Bucky is confusing at the best of times. And I’m confused today so any explanation is welcomed.

Just noticed this is a rerun from 2009, so many people will be saying, “Shoot, I’ve known that for two years.”

Satch: So you’re giving me an ultimate ‘un? (as in Final)Buck: I wouldn’t say it’s Garfield’s ultimate ‘un but it’s a pretty good ‘un. That’s how I read it.

I often wonder what makes Bucky tick. But, he’s a typical narcissist cat.

Yeah, you guys got it. That’s how I took it, Jonathan Eggleton. Satchel asks Bucky if he’s giving him an ultimatum – Bucky takes this to mean Satchel’s asking if he’s actually giving him Garfield’s “ultimate” book, which Bucky doesn’t think is ultimate but just pretty good :P

I loved the way Satch sequed from King Midas to King Kong…

Hmm, a comic strip character loaning a comic collection to another comic strip character. How avante garde.

Sorry, Buck, there’s no way there’s $100 in his head……but that would be King Kong’s touch…..

A Google search of “Garfield’s Ultimatum” led to a pretty unfunny re-do of a Garfield cartoon with offensive language. I love Get Fuzzy, but this bizarre reference, neither amusing nor clever, is far below Darby’s usual quality.

Bucky just got confused between “Ultimate” and “Ultimatum”. It’s funny because of the misunderstanding, not because of anything Garfield.
