Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for May 27, 2015

Who still has a Polaroid?!?

I didn’t even recognize it.

Well, Bucky was polite enough to ask, but I suspect there’s a nefarious plot afoot.

Polaroid’s latest instant cameras are essentially digital cameras with built-in miniature photo printers. The same effect, but no need for film.

It’s out there. Old, discontinued stuff on ebay and new film, check out https://www.the-impossible-project.com

Never give anything to Bucky when he asks for it.

Very difficult to upload funny cat Polaroids to u-tube.

Bucky’s probably going to claim he’s an artistic photographer.

I don’t visit the site often (read the strip in the paper unless it gets too twee), but am severely technology-deficient and don’t know what’s going on here. What is Bucky doing when his Polaroid goes “k-zz(z)t”? And why does he have to throw something against the wall (or whatever he was doing in the first panel) to get the Polaroid (?) down? How did it get on the wall in the first place? See, told you I was technically deficient!

What Polaroid???

That sound is the camera motor extruding the exposed photo through the rollers that squeeze the embedded emulsion to develop the picture. I used to be “addicted” to photography. Film and processing were expensive, but once you were hooked, many moved on to the “hard stuff” – Polaroid – a dollar-a-shot but an instant high.

where is bucky getting the money to buy film? i imagine polaroid film must be expensive at this point

Bucky anticipates Instagram.
