Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for March 22, 2015

Pants? help

Good old Mac, right up there with other Hall of Fame Cartoon Cats, such as Fat Freddy’s (Fabulous Furry Freak Bros.) & Bill (Bloom County)!

Newtons = Manc slang for teeth

I am I the only one that does not like Mac? I can’t stand that cat.

i do appreciate people translating. most helpful. i’ve never been good with foreign languages.

Pleasedto see that the inkers have once again got the color correct on Mac’s cap. Blue, because he’s a Man City fan!

So panel two would be: Who you calling small (literal)? Half-a-metre high (20 inches) is large (mega) for a cat.newtons: Teeth. Manchester rhyming slang derived from Newton Heath, a district in Manchester. Cf. ‘Hampsteads’.Nosh = foodPants: Nonsense, rubbish, bad. From the standard British English of pants, meaning underwear; also a variation on ‘knickers’. E.g.“The first half was pants but I stayed until the end and it was actually a great film.” [1990s]

With thanks to: http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/

Wouldn’t Mac use the metric system?

Presumably the weekday colorist is a United fan (unfortunately United just beat Liverpool; I hated typing those words).

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate learning from those who comment on this strip! As much as I love “Get Fuzzy”, sometimes it’s the comments that are the show! Thanks.

Dear Dyanna281, yes.

I LOVE Mac and hope he stays FOREVER with the gang!!!!

I like Chubby Hugs! He reminds me of my late Fat Cat.
