Satchel: I just spent the last two hours trying to resuscitate this bug, but I'm starting to think it may be a grape nut. Just so I'll know, you can't resuscitate a grape-nut, right?
Even Bucky can’t resist an “aw, poor sweet Satchel” moment.And yeah, they always have both publication (today) and copyright dates in the white bars between panels.
It isn’t a repeat, but it is similar to the one where Satchel complains that his pet bug never does anything and Rob informs him that his “pet bug is actually a dry roasted peanut.”
Oh god, Bucky lasted a strip without saying something stupid or offensive….plus he gave a hug..i believe that is one of the signs that the world will end this year
Kathe, maybe the heimlick, if say, Satchel had somehow swallowed Smacky, Bucky’s pet toy…..(Satchel eats things to find out if they’re food or not… He once ate a raisin that tasted like a piece of tar for some reason..)…Anyway, Bucky would want to get Smacky back….

Some one just made a break through.

My money’s on the former.

If this is the beginning of a week-long arc, I can’t wait to see where it goes. Let’s see if you can resuscitate a frosted flake.

Good thought! Didn’t think of that.

when it’s the hug that bugs you

Ok, so there goes Satchel’s wallet or something?

I think this is an old one

Looks familiar to me, too. But hey, Bucky hugged Satch—historic moment!

Pacopuddy, yup. His heart grew .0000000000000021% that day….

There was one time that Rob woke up and Bucky was nuzzling his chest! When Rob ask him if he was nuzzling, Bucky ran away shouting No, I wasn’t!

After which Satchel promptly eats the peanut.

The first and 3rd frames both make me want to be a sweeter person.

It’s a “Yup,” moment. Also…The comments? yup, also. Different breed of yup, tho.

I think Bucky’s trying to resuscitate Satchel.
pearlsarefuzzy over 12 years ago
I know I’ve seen this one before, but it’s still a heart-stopping moment. Bless you, Bucky, for puttin’ some lovin’ on our boy.
Kathe over 12 years ago
I love Satchel’s surprised look in the last panel. I bet he never expected a cuddle from Bucky… or even the heimlick .
semwc12 over 12 years ago
I’m going with the thinking that Bucky really cares and that sweet Satchel even gets to him once in a while!

This is a rare moment indeed. Worth running it past us again.
chadpilkington over 12 years ago
There was a joke years ago about Satchel’s pet bug being dead and it turning out to be a peanut but I don’t recognize this one.
lecrenb over 12 years ago
Naw, if you swallow the bug you’ll just get more protein.

If its a bug – Satchel is a dog….. eat it. After an appropriate waiting period for mourning, of course.

WHY CANT THERE BE A LIKE DIFFERENT DOG OR A HAMSTER OR A NAKED MOLE RAT OR A COCIPOODLE
Madailein over 12 years ago
I don’t know why, but this strip made me laugh harder than all the others. Bless your heart, Satchel, bless your heart.

But Bucky also sent the grape nut/bug flying — is that going to have consequences?

I’m sure there’s an ulterior motive… But, for now, I’ll just enjoy the sweetness.
