Scary Gary by Mark Buford for August 14, 2022

Loosen your grip or else say “A Farewell to Arm(s)”

I like what Will Smith says to the guard in I Robot. “What hospital are you going to so I can sign your cast later?”

How can Gary even be talking about a reflection?

I’m pretty attached to it, actually.

You’d think Gary would know by now that if he wanted to sit around having a few beers and chatting with Leo like Leo does with the devil that he’d have to resume his career as a real vampire and start sucking the blood our of their neighbors.

Some things never change and they remain the same for ever and ever…..

Gary, do not bother to apologize. Leo will make you regret even that!

Doesn’t Leopold work for Gary?

For one brief moment… I was expecting that heartfelt apology and companionly hug to end a wee bit differently.

Gary reaches over to find out that his long speech has been for naught. Leopold had placed a stand-in. Gary hugs a plushy. Shocked to think he has opened his heart to a life sized toy! Leopold is actually running around the city on a rampage to top all others. But Gary… being Gary… begins to take Plushy Leopold with him everywhere! Everywhere!!

Please tell me this is a worse outcome! ;)

I think Gary and Leopold have a very different definition of “buddy.” Either that or Gary is just an idiot. Oh, yeah, right… Travis, meet your new friend, severed arm in a jar. What shall we call him?

“Buddies again”? What fantasy have you been unliving in, Gary?

Go easy on him, Leopold. He is your employer….
