Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for July 05, 2018

Satch: “I take after Samson and his jawbone of an ass.”

Lotsa fire and brimstone and slaying of enemies going on in Ezekiel.

Is that a Goat Spectre surrounding Satchel?

I’ll bet that is Bucky behind the pillow, spying.

Ah, yes. The OT. Exodus 20, The Ten Commandments. Exodus 21, directions on how to treat your slaves. Spoiler alert. You don’t have to treat them well. Good stuff.

Satchel’s proclamation in the final panel is one of the best in the history of this strip.

I loathed these unfunny strips the first time they ran in the paper. They should NOT be recycled here (or anywhere.) EVER. Buried and forgotten like the bad idea they were…

Too many ‘Christians’ forget that there is an Old Testament and ignore all the teachings that Jesus’ Father taught us.

Some old testament stuff is severely misunderstood. One of the worst is ‘an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth’. At the time that was understood to be an ‘upper limit’, to prevent escalation of personal conflicts. It was not an automatic punishment, as many now believe. You could agree to work something out, like I will help you bring in your harvest for the next four years, or whatever. (I forget which preacher had this one on his program). It was to prevent something like the Hatfield and McCoy’s feud, which kept escalating due to each side wanting to ‘get more than even’.

I love how Zebra’s nose sticks out in this strip.
