We get it in the paper. Bucky is wholly unlovable, but I always had a soft spot for Satchel.

I agree, it's the one comic in the paper I skip.

(Sound of Ed Flanders' moustache being ripped out by the roots and stolen -- sounds kinda like velcro)

I admit that Get Fuzzy is hit and miss. But I always skim it, at least, because there are gems to be found.
The best ones are the combinations of Bucky's weird world view and his malapropisms. I thought this one was good. And M^3 returns from time to time. I always enjoy those as well.

Today's Get Fuzzy has m^3 again. Here's his bit:
"Defo. Knappers are flappy. Chuck 'em in the wheelie bin." Thanks to a previous bit on the cellar, we all know what a wheelie bin is. Defo is definitely? Knappers are flappy - These guys are nuts? What's a knapper exactly?

New British phrase in my reading - this one from Naomi Novik's Black Powder War. "..., but puzzling out the means left them at sixes and sevens a while."
Had to look that one up.
