Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for October 30, 2011
Transcript:
Bucky: You've been writing all day. What's join' on? Satchel: I'm trying my paw at poetry. Bucky: Well, as the poet houseate, I'll have a lock at it. Satchel, this poem may very well be the greatest travesty in the history of this dining table. It mocks the very name of your pen, sir, for your writing is neither sharp nor will it be permanent. Further, you have selfishly denied an innocent sheet of paper its cosmic right to become something of a worth-a pizza menu or credit card offer.

Bucky’s a natural critic. Give him a job at the Times!

Our poor, dear Satchel is obviously tormented by deficstential angst, and this is a plea for… a pooper-scooper?

Don’t pooh-pooh it, Buck – it’s excrementally better than the c**p you write!
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 13 years ago
Love that he’s trying his paw at it.
And Satchel’s using a Sharpie, as Bucky mocks, is even funnier to me because he’s half Shar Pei….
and till they changed it, I really enjoyed pointing out the Wikipedia entry for Sharpie markers (yes, there is one,) which said
"This page is about the permanent marking pen.
For the dog, see Shar Pei."

Let’s hope Satchel tries his paw at many other down to earth poems.

Dog poop? I thought this was a poem about the homeless. (They’re treated similarly.)
Dry and Dusty Premium Member about 13 years ago
I don’t know. I thought that was a pretty good poem, myself! Nice job Satchel!

In frame 3, doesn’t it appear that we are looking at the back of the page that Bucky is reading? That what we read is just the end of the poem?

Great dog poem! And I think Bucky could replace Simon on that talent show. Nasty, nasty.
