Attributed to the British playwright Ben Jonson in his 1598 play, Every Man in His Humour, which was performed first by William Shakespeare.

Opening next week at the American Shakespeare Center: http://www.americanshakespearecenter.com/

Well, that was unexpected. Well played, sir.

Gorsh! We’ve been set up to look here for madcap and now we’re getting culture. I likes it. B.J. don’t get much face time nowadays, least why’s not as much as he desarves. Keep up th’ good work Darby, ol’ boy.

I’m surprised someone as dumb as Bucky would know the difference.

I didn’t know that Bucky was a student of English literature. Nice.

Nice strip. The last panel is priceless…LoL. Buckster!, yer a wild n’ crazy cat! Some days you are an absolute loon, and others – today – make me in awe of this particular personality/voice. The expressions on the others… priceless.

This was the most unkindest cut of all

A hit, a palpable hit. Good one, Bucky.

Epic slapdown, Buck. Alas, poor Shakespug, I knew him Horatio. Wait… who is Horatio?

Ben Johnson? Isn’t he that sprinter who lost his Olympic title and record due to doping?

I nominate this one for the hall of fame.

but he always gets stuff wrong. that’s the point. having bucky outwit someone with obscure literary knowledge feels like the universe tilted.

Wait, Bucky knows something? Doesn’t that violate a law of physics or something?

Wow. Obscure literary reference from Buckminster and, for all I know, he got it right. Take a picture.

Shakespug’s pants (or glove, whatever) matches Rob’s chair. Nice.

All right, hold it right there! Who are you really, and what have you done with Bucky?!

Another disturbance in the Force!

But still how does he know ‘that’! Bucky has never shown any interest in theatre.

Maybe Bucky is good with the lady cats if he knows his Ben Johnson.

DRINK to me only with thine eyes,

And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kiss but in the cup,

And I ’ll not look for wine.

Bucky’s just an overwheening half-faced fustilarian! Or maybe a dissembling bat-fowling bugbear!

who is ben jonson!?
