Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for April 09, 2012

they have divers(e) opinions

The Keith Moon school of Olympic water sports. No water.

Awe, that’s cute….Even though he’s giving him a hard time, Bucky wants to get up and watch TV with Rob…..a cat and his boy….

kathyabk, if you drop by, check out the late posts from yesterday….

Similar to a remark on Dharma and Greg re: two-man luge: “You’re just sitting there on somethin’ that’s going to the finish line with ya or without ya.”

Sometimes the comments are the funniest things on the Comics pages. Maybe that’s why some artists don’t want them… they don’t want the competition.

you’re on trial for doin’ grass in your dive, bucky?

the comments are good but yours is very clever.

So what? I’m with Buck on this one…Olympics? best of breed showing their specific little twitches and tricks…for their various owners.The ‘gold’ medals aren’t, either…even.Proof that humans were finally domesticated and demos of what each is capable of…not much.

Pro sports are another form of perversion, too…

Diving on grass? I thought he was refering to professional soccer. QPR got screwed yeasterday!

Originally, in ancient Greece, they were contests of skill in areas that would be useful to a warrior…eminently practical. Now they’re just pretty. But that does make them fun to watch, to see what the human body is capable of.

SCATTY, since they’ve stopped doing them naked, I haven’t been into the Summer Olympics that much……BORing….But the Winter Olympics, well, are not only beautiful, they are way more awesome..cooler if you will…….And the Winter Olympics take bravery. They are much more dangerous and life threatening for sure. Dude died last time….Ski jumping, down hill racing, snow boarding, and if the bobsled and Luge weren’t dangerous enough, they have the skeleton, an even tinier sled. And you go down face first! I think you’re supposed to use your chin for the brake… Now I know that normally cross country skiing is kind of boring to watch. But in the Winter Olympics they give ’em rifles…..How cool is that?…….

so by Bucky’s reasoning…… Alex D. doing his gold medal dive — should only get a gold medal if he can safely land in the grass from the 10 metre board? (sorry – I can’t spell Alex’s last name. But he is a wonderful diver and if he does as well or better than at the last Summer Olympics – he deserves his gold.)

Here’s some cold pricklies for Get Fuzzy—-(once upon a time my favorite strip). The strip is just the three, in the apartment, saying bizarro puns 95% of the time. (today’s strip is pretty funny I’ll admit) BUT, what happened to the guys venturing out into the world?! Rob’s job? His brother and Dad? Dating misadvantures? Neighbors in the hall, people in the park, best friend Joe, etc., etc.?? Come on Darb, you’re so far into your comfort zone, you give Beetle Bailey a run for most petrified plotline!

“And now, the triple somersault onto Astroturf.”
