Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for March 04, 2012

Moderation…..A republican free zone…(sorry, couldn’t resist the set up. BTW, my cat enjoys moths as much as I enjoy banana splits….

Satchel is right that eating bugs are good for you. Just go ask Andrew Zimmern (though I personally never had a chapulín or a grub before). Bucky is right that Satchel should stop drinking out of the toilet.

So, Rob, how do you feel about shoplifting “in moderation”? Violence “in moderation”? War “in moderation”? Abuse, “in moderation”?

Yes there are limits. Some things are wrong, and they’re always wrong.

good tag team by satch and buck.

The way to get to Moderation is drive down the middle of the road. But that’s dangerous. As for literal interpretations (see above comments) that is the road to hell.

Everything in moderation . . . especially moderation

“moderation is for monks…”Lazarus Long

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

Robert A. Heinlein, TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE

Is Rob on something? He seems a little out of it…..I hope what ever it is, I hope he’s doing it in moderation…..

This is my favorite comic of the month.

But Rob’s head didn’t hurt this morning.

This one’s pretty wild. Of course, I’d expect no less from Bucky, Satchel, and Rob …

Where is this town called Moderation?

I think moderation is somewhere near Scots Dale.

As Heinlein books go, I prefer ‘Glory Road.’

All this talk about Moderation and stuff put me in mind of a song that was popular when I was a tad during WWII:

You gotta ac-cen-tu-ate the positive,Ee-lim-eye-nate the negative,Latch on to the affirmative,Don’t mess with Mr. In-Between!

(More to it than that – surely on Google somewhere, but it’s late here now.)

I didn’t understand it then, but now realize that the point of the lyricist was that moderation in considering WWII was a no-no.

Let’s go visit.

oh my god. I don’t know which one I love harder, Satchel in the fifth panel or everything in the last XD

This reminds me of being in the classroom and the “tattlers”. I especially like the tattlers who tattle while pretending to actually talk to the other kid. For example, the tattler might say, “Why are you drawing on the desk?” in a loud enough tone to be heard. Technically, it’s not tattling. Satch and Buck remind me of brothers…and tattlers.
