Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for August 10, 2012

I like the combination of birds with blue-collar workplaces as a way to generate insults.

“Oh yeah? Well you’re a yellow-throated warbler on a loading dock!”

Yeah, well you’re a tufted titmouse on a turn table….

You’re a Rose Breasted Gross Beak on a bidet…

lol It is too late for me to be witty. (12:12 a.m.)

And you’re a bustard in an abattoir.

(Not you, Suzanne. That other one, behind you.)

A chicken in a bucket….. or as my mom used to say…..lunch.

Robin Redbreast in a bra factory?

Nightingale in a wind tunnel?

I knew about the miners using canaries in the mines as ‘early detection systems’ for dangerous gasses (my grandpa was a coal miner in PA way back when), but didn’t know what he meant by saying that.

canary in a coal mine

1. A warning of danger or trouble yet to come.

Well, I guess that makes sense then.

A pigeon in a car factory

A titmouse in a Winnebago factory?

“Monkey in a sock drawer” – I would watch that. But it’s got to be smella-vision. Remember the John Waters movie? Title escapes me now…

A lark in a meadow.

“A monkey in a sock drawer” = a “sock monkey.” Well, those things are pretty scary looking. To me, at least.

Thanks! It was THAT long ago?

a woodpecker in a steel mill.

Doesn’t Bucky live in a sock drawer????

Ostrich in a cat littler factory would make more sense, but then again it’s Bucky, making sense to Rob isn’t really his special talent.

they already made a couple movies about evil monkeys

A blue jay @ a Red Robin.

A monkey in my sock drawer! That would scare me…

Is that gas I smell? Just Satch.

A loon in a nuthouse?

Aww… Bucky looks so earnest and hopeful in panel 2.

Chickenhawk in a hen house.

A woodpecker in salt mine! (That would be pretty terrible.)
