Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for August 08, 2012
Transcript:
Rob: So you want to be the next Stephen King, do you? You realize he's a red sox fan? How does that sit with your Yankee Brain? Bucky: Well, it's professional curiosity, isn't it? He's a fan of the evil and macabre. Just as Jonas Salk was a "fan" of polio. I'm sure Stephen King studies Red Sox nation in the same way a child studies a drowning insect. I mean I've seen sox games on TV, their fans drool on themselves and button their shirts wrong. They're freaks. Rob: Allllllrighty, then. Bucky: Well, you're a sox fan, when was the last time you had a date with an actual- Rob: You made your point.

Um, no, Rob, let’s talk about this girl thing…..Come on, I bet Satchel has more dates than you. Man, I can’t believe that Darby doesn’t use the idea more. Can you imagine a chick getting a good look at this household? Ha!

Now that I know Bucky is a Yankee fan, I commend his intelligence and good taste.I forgive Rob for being a Sox fan because he loves animals and Stephen King because he is a good writer and because there is no accounting for bad taste!

Darby hasn’t said it directly, but I believe he has hinted all along that Rob is gay.

Rob has dated girls but somehow Bucky always seems to mess things up. Yankee and Red Sox fans deserve each other, most arrogant fans ever with the Sox fans having little reason to be arrogant.

Bucky sounds exactly like your average Yankees fan.

Hmmm…the cat makes a valid point (DISCLAIMER: Not a fan of either team).

Bucky is once again the voice of logic and reason here. One could assume that might have been the intention from the beginning….

Bucky hit a nerve.

Rob had several dates in the early days but Bucky and Satchel managed to sabotage most of his dates (Bucky mostly). I’m just re-reading one of the old books which is full of classics :-)

I live in new york, and that stupid Sox vs Yankee feud continues to confound and annoy the crap out of me to this day.

How come there is never a Minnesota Twins fan in the comics except for me
Varnes over 11 years ago
Them Danged Yankees stole Granderson from the Tigers, now they have Ichiro, and I hate Ichiro! He’s too dang good. Speaking of the Twins, I used to hate Harmon Killebrew when came to town and kicked our butts, too………

Being from Kazoo though, I have to like our local guy, Derek Jeter. One of the greatest players of his time……

I forgave Stephen King for being a Red Sox fan once I read his “Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon”, a book that grabs you and doesn’t let go.Thanks for that one, Mr. King.

Poor Rob. Initially he went steady with a woman based on Darby’s RL girlfriend, but that got awkward for them, so he’ll probably never have a girlfriend again. And now he gets suspected of homosexuality because of that lack.

It’s old news that Rob’s a Red Sox fan and Bucky is a Yankee fan GO ’Stros
Hunter7 over 11 years ago
I vaguely recall Rob going on a date. With someone who liked dogs and cats. Something about Bucky getting attached? Have I recalled correctly?

Rob and Bucky have had some pretty funny threads going on this Red Sox/Yankees thing in the past.

@Redkaycei…wow, hate much for nothing?

I think Rob can’t get a girlfriend mostly because of Bucky. See the first Get Fuzzy comic strips when Rob was trying to date. It was hilarious.
