Curious George: What CAN Satchel be watching? My curiosity has been aroused by my fave comic today. But what about Satchel (the dog). What's going on? Ideas / suggestions...

I'm sure I've not missed any. Is there something going on in America of such massive importance that it should show up in Get Fuzzy? [Apologies for non-Earth shattering post. I just wondered...]

  • Are you sure it's not just a generic tv show? (I don't read GF, so if there's any context or story arc I'm missing it)
  • Oh, I get it now. ob·jec·ti·fy   
    tr.v. ob·jec·ti·fied, ob·jec·ti·fy·ing, ob·jec·ti·fies
    1. To present or regard as an object: “Because we have objectified animals, we are able to treat them impersonally” (Barry Lopez).
    2. To make objective, external, or concrete: thoughts objectified in art.
     Funny.
  • kitfisto, you should be ashamed of yourself. I don't know why you think this is of sufficient interest to anyone to justify an FPP. Anyway, I think it may actually have something to do with all those women's magazines he was reading a while ago. Did we ever find out where they came from? What a wuss that Rob Wilco is, though. Dictated to by his cat and unable to control the dog's television viewing - God help him if he ever has children. Speaking of Satchel watching television, I still remember this one with affection: Rob: What are you doing? Satchel: Watching TV. Rob: Dude, it's a microwave. It's just the food going round. Satchel: That's my favourite program. Well, er...
  • Cute, I hadn't seen this comic before. Thanks. don't know why you think this is of sufficient interest to anyone to justify an FPP. oh, Pleg, phhht. gedoverit. I'd banish you off to cranky filter if you hadn't mentioned brought up my favorite program. I'm off to watch the breakfast channel.
  • I assumed Pleg was being jocular, given that it obviously did interest him. Plus, any excuse to snark on that goddam kitfisto bastard.
  • Just my feeble joke, Gramma - I'm a real Chubby Huggs actually. And now I'm thinking about breakfast when it's actually tea-time...
  • And what quid said about kitfisto.
  • You'll pay. Oh yes, you'll pay. [Fires up his newly acquired Cyn-System 2000 Panzerfaust with fire-and-forget Pleg & Quid - seeking missiles...]
  • Could be anything on MTV.
  • I don't know the answer, but I love seeing Get Fuzzy linked on the front page. ...Yeah, I'm tremendously helpful. They might explain tomorrow, but it's probably just a one-off joke.
  • Dude. I have a friend who talks exactly like that. Thanks for clarifying that, techsmith.
