Metapost: Work it work it WORK IT
Remember, people: If you get an infantile urge to giggle every time you hear the phrase “Work them like a claw … and call me Randy,” then you should buy either the men’s or women’s working-it-like-a-claw-themed shirt over at the Comics Curmudgeon store. Then you should take a picture of yourself wearing it and send it to me, like faithful reader Bigfoot did:
I think Randy and April were eating Chinese food, not sushi, but you have to admire her dedication to verisimilitude.

Reminds me of the “You better work!” from RuPaul.
Oh, and FIRST! Wow.

Sunday Get Fuzzy is up on the website. I think they are all about you.

May I propose a little feature for CC? A lot of posters like to name the strips by their initials, and if a newbie doesn’t know what GF or (DT)GT means, they can be lost. (And then, of course, there’s FOOB.)
Maybe a little “code box” somewhere in the borders?

It would appear that Bigfoot’s friend in the background lacks the appendages necessary to work them like a claw.

Sunday’s Mark Trail–Look out!!! That’s one huge rabbit turd!

Josh, I’m honored to work it like a claw for you. If I’d been in the mood for Chinese dumplings that would have been better. We’d have the Chinese food from the original Randy/April strip & the taupe food we all abhor from Mary Worth. But, alas, I was wanting some sushi.

Has anyone else noticed the “headline” in the paper that Mrs. Fox (her name is escaping me right now) is reading in today’s Foxtrot. I thought it was hilarious.

sj – it’s Andi or Andy…I think the “i” makes it feminine. I didn’t catch the headline..I’ll go look.

Bigfoot, er. . .Randy, tequila with sushi. That’s a taste treat I’ve never tried. You people at CC have turned me on to many new things!

I agree with Scumbaggioni, a glossary would be helpful if you don’t already have one. I was in the Navy for two months before I figured out what FTN stood for. Heck, I can’t even figure out two letter Jumbles.

#7, 8 — Actually, it’s Andy with a Y. One of the few comic strip characters I know to have an androgynous name.

Bigfoot: It woulda been great if you had incorporated the “I’m shoving this blob of food into my neck” like the Mary Worth crew tends to do.
So I looked at a sunday TDIET for the first time today, and wasn’t prepared for the taped-together four TDIET drama going on. Too…much…Scaduto…oh yeah!

Dan B, I tried to stab my chin with the food a la MW, but the dark seaweed on the sushi & lack of spear-like tynes killed the effect.

Bigfoot, you’re adorable — but the roommate over your left shoulder has won my heart.

Best strip of the day..
Tough call between “PBS†& “GFâ€..!!
Wait, that’s yesterdays post.. Well the same thing can be said today.
Wait, forgot about “Prince Valiant”.. Sundays best forever…!!!

Sadly, Ianscot, the armless roommate is claimed by Mr. Bigfoot. He even lets her wear his old track outfit… Now if only he had the medical skills of a Rex Morgan he could feed her ice cream and cause her arms to regrow.

Pitching woo means to court, to make love or to flatter. Therefore, the reference to the man who saves Nathan Valiant pitching woo, implies that he’s gay, since he was talking with other males at the time he was described as pitching woo. Of course I’m not implying that there is anything wrong with that, it’s just that the Knight known as Prince really sets the gaydar screen blipping and apples don’t fall too far from the tree…

Re the Sunday Mark Trail: since the time that strip was written, Harriet the Tortoise has died (June 23), at an estimated age of 176.

Well, that is a respectable lifespan…Mark Trail certainly wouldn’t let facts or timeliness get in the way of a good story.

#15 – I did like PV; it was almost funny this time. But my personal favorite sequence was when Val’s crew landed on the Isle of Anagrams. Short, but very amusing to the language oriented.
