Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for January 03, 2013
Transcript:
Bucky: I can't believe you never knew that most kids' TV characters were soviet mind control agents. So educate me. How can you tell if, say a muppet is a communist? Bucky: Why do you think so many of them are red? Do they have to actually name one "pinko" for you? Rob: Oh my head. Where am I? Bucky: U.S.A., baby! Home of the blue muppet! And sometimes purple. Rob: Oh yeah? What about Kermit? Bucky: Or as miss piggy says: kommie the frog? Not easy being green, eh? Easier being red, is it?!

so, that is why conservatives hate the muppets. when the muppets tell kids to share, to conservatives that is indoctrination and takes away the work incentive and the dignity of work.

Ya know, this is why I love reading this comic’s commentaries most mornings. I get intellectual stimulation, thought-provoking questions, and a few bad puns with my morning coffee and toast.

I’m surprised the Tea Baggers haven’t picked up on this.

I wish someone would explain these to me. I’m still in the dark about what is apparently a political writing convention now. The only thing that comes to me is the old blue laws. Which basically meant that anything that was or could be construed as having fun was illegal.

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that none of the muppets have jobs.

Sooo typical of the juvenile, peurile “tolerant” liberals. Just can’t resist with the name calling and spoiling an otherwise few enjoyable moments of detachment from the “real world”. Is your ego/psyche so fragile that you must continually insist on slandering and hurling insults and slurs in some vain attempt to tear down any who disagree with you politically? Even on a comic page? Pathetic.
Such “enlightment”…color me…unimpressed.

Thanks. I’ll remember that when I see that stuff in the future. Doesn’t do much for people who are color blind, huh?

I dunno… I agree with SZonian. Referring to the Tea Party as “Tea Baggers” is name-calling. Referring to the one who did it as “juvenile” and “peurile” isn’t; it’s criticism.
