Scary Gary by Mark Buford for September 25, 2023

HOO RAY WAY TO GO GARY

Saved him. Tomorrow’s a different story, perhaps

Gary shows Olympian form in panel 2!!!!

Wow, both continuity AND action!! Could “Scary Gary” get any better?

Perfect!

You may have been freed if the jar broke in the water, Travis. Well, maybe dead soon because of no special life-giving solution that Leo concocted.. never mind.

Now Travis just needs to start singing.

Take, these broken wings, and learn to fly again, learn to live so free.

A little like Farley saving April in the stream. “For Better or Worse” mid-April ’95 story arc.

Yay Gary!

Quick thinking, Gary!

I’m surprised that he remembered that he could do that.

Thank goodness, it was night time.

Good lad, Gary!

As Lazlo Cravensworth would say: “Bat!”

Oh, I sure hope there isn’t someone hiding and recording Gary. That could spell disaster for him in his neighborhood.

Vampiric hero.

Oh! What IS the world coming to!? This strip having a Happy Ending?

The Wicked Witch of the West: “Oh, what a world! What a world!”

If Gary gets a girlfriend, Leopold moves back to the old country, or the words And They Lived Happily Ever After appears – I’m out of here!

Check out today’s “Dinette Set” to see what Travis did for living until that fateful day that he met Leo!

Gary starts out on the far bank, leaps from the near bank and cleverly snags Travis utilizing bat form. 700 year old vampire magic?

Scairy Gairy.

I’m glad that he can still transform.

Gary always manages to change into a bat in that small gap between panels!

Travis: Hey, Gary… ? What’s the airspeed of a Transylvanian bat laden with a head in a jar?

Gary: Um… pretty close to zero.

Travis, Gary: Oh shiiiii(splash)

You da man, Gary. Or wait…maybe not exactly….

Oh, thank goodness!!!!!!!!!! :)

Gary the hero.

YAY! Gary comes through for Travis in his time of real need! Good for you, you batty Old Boy!
