Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for November 19, 2012
Transcript:
Satchel: Eugh. This is awful. I mean I'm not the hugest fan of licorice, but this one I found on the sidewalk, is disgusting. Bucky: It's not food. Satchel: It sure isn't. Bucky: No, man, they're repaving the street and bits of tar are getting everywhere. I watched them from the window all day. Look on the bright side: At least it was chewy. It was probably the best chunk of asphalt you've ever eaten. Satchel: Ha ha! That's true!

Panel 4:Satch looks a little guilty, but when did guilt ever prevent a dog from eating something disgusting?
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 12 years ago
I don’t think he feels guilty…I think he feels sick…
A little…um…tarry-eyed.

Is it possible? Is there actually something in the ‘not food’ column?
Kathe about 12 years ago
To me, Satch looks like he needs to get to the bathroom quickly…and throw up.
Doodlemommie about 12 years ago
I think he is embarrassed he let it slip that he has eaten asphalt before.

On the road again, can’t wait to get on the road again….

Panel 3 he has asphalt in his left hand . Panel 4, he has that hand to his mouth.(Okay, paw; for all those anal retentives out there.)

J. Short, yup. He pooped it in his mouth…It’s officially in the food column now……

Susan sweetie, I did. this time around I’m using my i-Pad so it was easy to rotate, enlarge and do a screen shot. I’m afraid it’s gonna be grainy. When I get back to my laptop I’ll attempt plan B. BTW is the Tiki a cyber place you and the others “meet” ????

Asphalt…reminds me of a joke.
rw1h about 12 years ago
I can relate. I got smooth-talked into eating some tar that was bubbling up along the edge of the road one hot summer day. I was also led to believe that was where licorice came from…….was sick the rest of the day…….

Reminds me of when I was growing up. Someone told us the way to get your teeth pretty and white was to chew tar. Needless to say, we tried it. Didn’t work. I feel for you Satch.

I think he’s shoving the last bit of asphalt in, after all it is the best he’s ever eaten!
Stephen Gilberg about 12 years ago
I’m just glad he has a concept of disgusting.
meowlin about 12 years ago
That’s not my asphalt. It’s your asphalt.
mrsullenbeauty about 12 years ago
I think the joke here may be that he ate the rest of it even after learning it was inedible asphalt.

Hey, one good chew deserves another. Even if its asphalt.

Urp…. thanks for …er… pointing that out… I think…You’re right, of course…
Satchel manages to express regret even in the act of doing something he already knows will turn out badly.

rnmontgomery… um… sweetie (?)…
Pixels is pixels…a picture only has so many dots in it…actual photographs have millions, digital cameras are only starting to catch up.
That panel was uploaded at maybe 150 pixels wide…. so it WILL be grainy if you enlarge it so much the dots show.
I enlarged it a little to make it look better… but I can’t add dots.
By the same token, if you shrink it to display at 50 pixels wide, like an avatar, it will lose some of the dots it has now.That’s why you always save an original, and give a new name to the one you reduce.

When I say “it was uploaded” I mean originally, by GoComics.

I’m afraid I was bitten before Pastis was born.He was also bitten, but he isn’t the source.
Unfortunately, the offending bug is widespread, and there’s no vaccine.Watch out.

I happen to be eating licorice as I read this comic. Coincidence?
