Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for December 28, 2014

Small steps, Bucky.We put a man on the moon before we put wheels on hand luggage.

That line got the biggest guffaw out of me for the whole year!

dukedoug, I like “What? That’s even more less not crazy!” myself….At least I think I do, until I figure out what it means…

Probably sheer coincidence, but “Call me Fishmeal” was the opening line of a Mad Magazine satire of the movie “Moby Dick” many many years ago.

Ah, the mind of one Bucky Kat !

What’s in a nam? The_Da Vinci Cod would smell as sweet as any other novel by Dan Brown

I remember “Call me Fishmeal” as the opening line from Mad Magazine’s parody of Moby Dick back in the late 60s/early 70s.

“Call me Fishmeal” OK, CHUM!One question though. What is his recipe for “The Fast of the Mohicans”?

Note the book on the table: “The Count Of Monte Crisco”

Yet another broke page.

… Making me hungry!…

When you think about it though, this sort of is out there – lots of canned foods, and mixes and frozen packaged foods with prep instructions – or recipes – included with it, just like a cook book.

So….with the life span of cats, when’s Bucky going to kick the ol’ bucket? ;)

The Da Vinci Cod: a Fishy Parody by Don Brine actually exists. (Pen name of an English writer, Adam Roberts. He also wrote a couple of Tolkien parodies as A.R.R.R. Roberts) ‘Cod’ is English slang for a joke or hoax.

I think the average life span of comic cats is about fifty years.

Fishmeal…Ishmael…OH!

“Call me fishmeal!” Oh, no, you din’t!!! Darby, Darby, Darby! You deserve a small beating and then a kiss and a hug from someone you find attractive! Best yet!

Diner is over but I still have a hankering for something exotic like:“A lobster tail of two cities”or“The taming of the stew”

Tom Batiuk used “Call me fishmeal” in FUNKY WINKERBEAN strip a few years ago.

Some new young kids will have to go to school, to understand a strip like this.Out of the mouths of cats!MD should be required reading for every HS kid in the USA, not just in Boston.It’s part of our heritage!Love it!

Bucky expropriated that “Fishmeal” line from Mad Magazine.
