Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for April 03, 2012
Transcript:
Bucky: So, no new sightings of any grim reapers since I got the correct horoscope. Satchel: Good... Hey, here's a question: do grim reapers still need to go to the dentist? Bucky: Pardon? Satchel: I mean, I can see that they don't need to go to, say, a dermatologist, but they still got teeth! Imagine a grim getting a routine check up at the doctor, though! Ha ha! Bucky: You're an odd fellow. Satchel: The bad news, Mr. Grim, is that your flesh is missing... The good news is no colonoscopy!

ANYONE would consider no colonoscopy good news, dead, or not, grim or not, reaping or not.

Leave it to Satch to find the bright lining in such a dark, dark place.

This dog seems rather enlightened. How the heck would he know what a colonoscopy is?

Naturally — I used to tell my dog all sorts of things, appreciating the understanding in her eyes.Maybe Darby has regaled Satchel with tales of his own colonoscopies.Of course, he wasn’t thinking about the fact(?) that Satchel can talk.
BTW I love that Satch shows affection for his favorite toys by chewing on them.

Also BTW — I posted a bit too late yesterday to those discussing strip dates, color-changing cats, and fans who care more than the cartoonists.

So the Grim Reaper goes into a bar and says, “Gimme a beer. And a mop.”

“It’s a Mr. Death or something and he’s come about the reaping? I don’t think we need any at the moment.”

Satch looks worried. Like Grim heard Satch calling him goofy looking.

Satchel saw right through that one!

Satchell has been on fire (not literally) lately! Grim Reaper jokes are awesome.

Ah, wisdom through a dog’s eyes. And 12-cell brain, eight of which are dedicated to wagging the tail and two to operate the tongue.

AS for the colours: the cartoonist colours the Sunday strip, the site colours the dailies.

All this talk is so grim!

got to love that prep work CowboyE. Dave Berry wrote one of the funniest colums ever on his prep for a colonoscopy. http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/02/11/427603/dave-barry-a-journey-into-my-colon.html

Satch is an Odd Fellow? I can see him being a Moose or an Elk but not an Odd Fellow. Now his being a Shriner makes the most sense. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him wearing a fez although I don’t see him driving one of those little go-karts.

I wonder if Ooops! has any comments on the Grim Reaper and doctoring?

Well, the characters are cute, but rarely funny and sometimes offensive, but this one did indeed make me giggle.
