Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for July 23, 2020

What’s Derpatology, Dave? I tried to Google it and it came up with Dermatology.

The urban dictionary has a few definitions, but #2 might be the winner: A professional idiot. Although he doesn’t look very professional to me.

shoe’s untied…

Maybe he was looking for dermatology, or herpetology and this was just kismet.

“Dr Monroe Hastings!” That’s just great!

Great joint effort, everyone; I was searching the web on this one, and wasn’t coming up with anything.

reminded me of the FarSide when I would have to look up the word to get the joke

I like it a new handle for an essential phrase. “Don’t be a Derp. Wear a Mask!”

…that didn’t age well…

Pull the fire alarm, he’ll know for sure that you’re there.

Well bless your heart….

So where is this term “derp” used? Is it colloquial, Eastern metro, non-US; what? I have not heard or read it anywhere before this.

I’m assuming he’s with his long suffering mother. I wonder what kind of treatment can be done for this. And I wonder if it’s available in DC.

Is Derpatology the study of Muffin?

(The Bronies will get this one.)

It’s okay. He doesn’t get it either.

I would prefer visiting a Dorkologist.
