Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for June 15, 2022

Good question, Buck.

Rob should just give up. It never pays to argue with an idiot.

Sea Cucumber! Alimentary Watson. Easy access, however, there’s not much decorum upon exit. AND, there’s a bit of a problem slipping on the slime.

Most historians agee that the Trojan horse was just a myth anyway.

Bucky may be on to something big. Didn’t Howard Hughes once take in the U.S. government by building a honkin’ huge sea cucumber with wings?

Methinks I’m becoming demented—Bucky is starting to make sense. Especially after inflation has made it a wooden nickel.

A wooden hippo may have looked just as good as a wooden horse.

Hindsight is 20/20, Bucky.

Horses had great mythological significance in early cultures. You could build a wooden one as big as you needed when caught short for a gift idea. :)

beg to differ, but site for Troy has been found, and city was once thought to be myth too

The other day, I watched a documentary on Public Broadcasting Services where a group of English soldiers tried the whole “Horse” thing in one of the many wars that the English fought, except that they forgot to get in the horse before leaving it out for their enemy.

The Greek wives left at home did find a use for carefully polished giant wooden sea cucumbers.

LOL!!!!!

Wow. I have to go with Bucky on this one. That doesn’t happen very often.

The bottom line is that Bucky thinks outside of the box, and his reasoning is sound, while Rob merely sticks hard and fast to what he was told and never questions it. And that’s why Bucky continues as the voice of reason in this strip.

I’m sure a sea cucumber wouldn’t have worked. The Trojans would surely have come up with some prophylactic measure to protect themselves from any such scheme.

Read The Aeneid for the answer.

I hate it when Bucky is right about anything!

Toss Bucky into the wine-dark sea.
