Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for November 11, 2012
Transcript:
Satchel: Wanna try my chicken a l'orange? Bucky: Sure, I'll have a go. Eww... This is terrible. What kind of orange did you use? Satchel: Both kinds: marker and crayon. Bucky: It tastes like a toilet seat. Satchel: Well, I know for a fact that's not true! Ha ha! Bucky: You sure you used a cookbook? Maybe it was a C.I.A. chicken interrogation manual and you got carried away. Satchel: Hey, that recipe had a Michelin Mark! Bucky: Tastes like it has marks from two goodyears and a few dun laps, too. Where'd you get a chicken? Rob never buys them. Satchel: I used yours, sorry. Bucky: I don't have a chicken. Satchel: It was in your drawer, the package said it was a masseuse chicken. Bucky: Wait... You mean my rubber chicken? Satchel: Is that different? Did it not have an official rubber therapist license?

Oh, my. Poor Bucky. He was ready to tast Satchel’s creation. But, . . . wax crayon, marker and RUBBER chicken??? No wonder he looks ill.

Where did Bucky Kat go? This cat is sane.
Randy B Premium Member over 11 years ago
Masseuse = one who rubs = rubber.

“It tastes like a toilet seat.”Very funny, but not the sort of analogy I’d use in public. Ick.

Reminds me of the time that Linus made Lucy a hot chocolate. She said it was a little weak. Linus said maybe it needs another brown crayon!

Food or not food, there are one and the same to Satchel.

Rubber chicken? Satch could make a fortune catering political fundraisers..

Maybe Bucky should give thanks that Satch didn’t use purple marker and crayon.

Glad to see a new strip… And I now know not to trust Satchel’s cooking. Ever.

I’m glad to see “BC” writers Mastroianni and Hart haven’t forgotten … but nearly every cartoonist has decided their strips are too important for posting Remembrance/Armistice/Veterans Day accolades in. SHAME ON YOU DARBY.

I expect everybody has already “spotted” it, but let’s root for the mushroom cap! Mr. Fun Guy looks like a fungi!

Used his rubber chicken?… Oh, Satchel!… Bucky’s mean and all, but, but,… he LOVES his rubber chicken… NO!!!… Cry…

I must have a Mr. Fun Guy hat – even though I’m a woman.

The one gripe I have about Get Fuzzy is represented especially well with this strip. Conley makes joke after joke, which is awesome, but then he just…runs out of panels. He has so many mid-strip punchlines that he forgets to end on one.
Admittedly, most comic strip authors spend the entire strip building up to one, often terrible “joke” (I’m looking at you, Marvin), so this is refreshing, especially when it’s done over ten panels. (Curtis is the only other strip I can think of that uses so many each week). Still…the strip just seems incomplete without a finishing punchline.

Thanks Darby, it has been a LONG time since I laughed that hard! The expressions on Bucky’s face are priceless!

One of your funniest, Mr. Conley. I especially loved the 3rd and 6th panels.

As far as “Rememberance Day” “must honour” goes…the day we start impressing our/society’s standards on people is the day the Greatest Generation fought for nought!
