    Maybe Bob needs to go to rehab…

    never mind. The shot to the base of the skull with an AK should take care of everything.

    Golly gee - a lot of expressed pleasure over shooting Bob. We here near VA Tech don’t share that joy. Get it all out this year kids, no 2013…

    OK, so Guard Duck’s therapy doesn’t always work.

    Give ’im a break - at least he took a shot at it.

    Otto — his rifle may be recoiling, but it didn’t faze him at all.

    L’il Guard Duck, with his trusty M-16A2, to the rescue, Neighbor Bob! Don’t worry, folks, it’s just a flesh wound. Of course, a 5.56 at point-blank range is going to smart a little….

    in a recent survey of depressives, it was reported that those who were fatally shot were 99.9% cured of their depression.

    Bob should have been shot just for wearing the turtleneck-sweater combo. Who does he think he is— Carl Sagan?

    Looks as though Bob hasn’t left us yet – still holding on to the table with one hand . . . and the star shows that he’s feeling pain. Hold on, Bob!

    He shoulda just wished for a little spark to get going.

    He’d get over tazer jolt a lot faster than the bullet.

    When Bob feels down, he really feels “down” (i.e., duck feathers).

    At least LGD wasn’t over the top in his aim, or neighbor Bob might have lost his head in the exchange.

    Reminds me of the bad joke about the two hunters:

    Two hunters are out in the woods. One of them accidentally gets shot, but it doesn’t look too serious. The other hunter takes out his mobile phone and calls 9-1-1.

    .

    “My friend got shot!” he cries to the operator, “What can I do?”

    .

    The operator, in a calm voice says: “Don’t worry. I can help. First, make sure he’s dead.”

    .

    There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Bang!

    .

    The hunter’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?"

    being a “Bob” on this strip is akin to being a “Red Shirt” on Star Trek. I have to agree with Dr Lou above, it’s a pretty lame joke today but I do love LGD.

    That’s not what he meant when he said, “shot in the arm,” Guard Duck.
