Transcript:
Satchel: What's this music? I've never heard it. Rob: Charlie Parker. It's a seminal jazz piece. Satchel: A what now? Rob: It's some of the earliest truly American music. Satchel: Wow. They really did everything first. They did get to america first, after all. Beat columbo by a million years or something. Rob: Huh? Satchel: Were they the first people to be able to make music without using rock? Rob: What? Satchel: Let's see: seminole jazz, rubber for chew toys, popcorn, apache cellphone coverage... Rob: I think we're talking about two different things here. Satchel: Ohhhh, there's hundreds of things, Rob. Bucky: Kayak.com

Um… Didn’t know they could blatantly advertise, first time I’ve seen ’im do it…
Though, I will give props for the Codex Awareness as a fellow V8 drinker… :D

I love the way Bucky comes in at the end having no idea what the conversation is about, and just throws in a word to confuse everything. It’s something I would do. Hee hee.

Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, great Jazz should really be mentioned more often! :-)

Um, we have to have a chat about this whole Charlie Parker being the first truly American music thing…I don’t remember Robert Johnson’s style music being play anywhere else….

Bucky is on point. Kayaks were invented by Native Americans. He was just adding to Satchel’s confused list of things NA created.
I love how ‘a patchy’ cell phone coverage became Apache.
Varnes over 11 years ago
OK, isn’t anybody going to say something about Native American music? I don’t remember that being played in other places either….

@wecatgocomics: esquimaux [another group of “early” (aka, native) americans, the topic of today’s strip] invented kayaks, hence Bucky’s confusing comment.

Nerd time: “Seminole” does not actually refer to a Native American tribe, but to a mixed-race group that formed between the Creeks and African slaves who escaped to Spanish-controlled Florida.

This strip reads just like my high school freshmen when they go off on a tangent. Of course, Satchel is a bit more intelligent…

I was going to say Bucky twisted things again and meant to say canoe.ca but there really is a kayak.com.both provide lots of info.

Rob likes Charlie Parker? That’s the first sign in quite some time that he might be more intelligent than Bucky. But so far, the Bucky-isms in general make far more sense than most of what Rob has said to date!

The first American music? Jazz? Jass? Fads? Native American rhythm has. Bucky? Columbo? Hot solo! Brilliant American composition. Not Columbus among us! No. Never. Endeavour. Santa Maria I’ll see ya, the genes supreme!
I’m lost in the frost, the scene in between just go let’s grow!
