Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for April 25, 2012
Transcript:
Rob: Well, I'm outta here. You can bore Satchel with all your soccer diving theories. Satchel: I'm all ears! Bucky: Hey, don't sell your nose short. Satchel: Huh? Bucky: Portuguese tell tales of a soccer player called nano. It is said that if you get within six feet of him, he will dive with such force... ...That the vacuum created in the air literally sucks the red card out of the referee's pocket and starts pulling you off the field! Satchel: Wow! Rob: It's not true, Satchel!

There IS a Portuguese player named Nani on Mnachester United…very talented but, yes, a noted diver. Darby knows his footy.

is that ‘force’ anything like nanoparticles absorbing into your body to such core depths that they chunk-chop at your dnadrastically altering it as some of the most potently dangerous toxins your environment has ever wielded?or is it really only alteration of exclamation “all hail aloha” via mork (of mindy fame)? you know, “shalom shazam” —??

Small wonder why Americans don’t support soccer. Any game a Frenchman or Italian can play in nylon short-shorts isn’t a manly game. That and the constant diving

Bucky’s diving theories make more sense to me with each passing day. We need to get him in ESPN Deportes.

you know this strip used be about the relationship between the crazy animals and Rob with funny characters visiting and some attachment to realistic behavior between them all-it’s not funny anymore unless you are a soccer fan-maybe it should move to a soccer web site.

Day 8 and KEEP IT COMING! Diving is one of the reasons I cannot get friends to watch the game. Catch today’s UEFA game and see the Real Madrid diving circus!!!

Hockey playoffs are on if you want to see some North American-style embellishments.

This is a really lame story arc if you’re not into soccer and don’t know the first thing about it. Maybe I’ll check back in a coule of weeks when Bucky has another brilliant scheme to become famous, make $$$ or drive Rob over the edge.

Agree with @The Star Thrower: Coleman must be running out of money-making schemes for Bucky. The cast of characters he invited into the household was brilliant, although some of them were hard to deal with, like the Cockney cat, whose slang is pretty tough for most who aren’t from London. (Yes, even other Brits have problems with the Cockney argot.)

This is pure American theater, Mike Fink by way of Davy Crocket, strained through Amos’n’Andy…and I like it! you other guys can take your eyeballs elsewhere, your scrutiny is no good here…I’m no soccer fan but I GET it and I’m gonna watch some more. Alley-ooop.

I actually enjoy listening to people who know what they are talking about, especially if I don’t know much about it….What a great chance to learn! You can’t learn what you already know…….
