Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for February 10, 2012

einstein after he finished most of his mental heavy lifting. twain, no evidence to conclude he was a vegetarian

Is that true? All vegetarians? But compared to them I’m a vegetable…couch potato…

People eating tasting animals?

OK, let’s try my favorite author, Christopher Moore, he’s a modern genius, surely he must barbeque something….Damn, asparagus! What’s up with these people..

Clear proof that meat makes you a subgenius. Hot dog!

Oh well, being a genius sounds like too much work anyway. I think I’ll wolf down a quarter pounder and go take a nap.

Why why why oh look I have extra bacon for breakfast. What! do you wanna live forever?

Hitler was a vegetarian… So, Bucky, don’t be one, by all means.

Conrad Stoffelmeier was a meat eater. Maybe that is why you never heard of him…………

I’ve had a little think about my comment earlier re Hitler and vegetarians and realized that it was completely unacceptable to make such an unjustified and unpleasant generalisation and I apologise without reservation. I will now remove that comment. I’ll leave the one that replies to jukeofurl.

Ooh, Godwin’s Law in 11 posts…

Let’s see are there any famous geniuses who were not vegetarians

ok I tire, could go on for hours

There goes my favorite bashing-use story…that Hitler ravaged vegetables. I must check this out. Hitler NOT a cocaine-sniffing, prancing, cruel, arrogant, celebrity-seeking murdering vegetarian? the mind boggle-eth. Doggone it.

The only aggravation against good sense that Hitler didn’t perform was…he didn’t prance wearing biking spandex.

Snopes says that Hitler was a vegetarian because he had gastric problems.

If God didn’t want us to eat animals he wouldn’t have made them out of meat!!!! or nearly so tasty!

I love Bucky’s eyes in panel two. Very expressive.

Bucky has a legitimate question, here. Mark Twain was happily omnivorous. He out-and-out fantasizes about eating fried chicken and porter-house steak. He gets snarky about people who carve their poultry wrong. Granted, he loved animals, but that love was at least partially gastronomical in nature.

Hitler was really truly a vegetarian as were the true Nazi believers – Rudolf Hess was very strict eating only organic. There are academic research on vegetarianism in the western culture. The idea is moral superiority – vegetarians think they are morally superior – hence it has been widely adopted by fascists in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Plato and Socrates ate meat (lamb, goat, beef) and fish. So much for accuracy.

No meat available in Da Vinci’s time.? THAT’s why he slept so little! It was all that extra rufage!

or does he?

Oy, Darby’s laying it on a bit thick…

I am a proud Meatatarian. Vegetarians have only vegetables at meal time, I have been known to have meals consisting of only Meat. Meat is delicious, meat rules. Go meat!!!!

Yeah, I’m suspicious too. No way they are all vegetarians
