Maybe Darby Conley is on the forums somewhere?
Hrm......... Maybe Darby Conley is going to be one of the presenters on the Gear show.

haha I was just reading the comics and noticed that

Whoops, duplicate thread. Merged.

Get Fuzzy is an daily comic strip about a guy, his twisted cat, and his naive dog.

In today's comic, there was a reference to Top Gear, something that's quite unusual considering it's drawn by an American.

Lame comic, but nice reference to our holiness, The Stig.

I like the comic, but today's was kinda meh.

I wonder why they included a reference that only .02% of readers would understand.

Maybe that's the point -- an inside joke of sorts.

Actually, Darby tends to be pretty on-top of "indie" things when it comes to Rob's shirts and caps.

BerserkerCatSplat · February 25th, 2008, 05:47 AM

Cool reference. Pearls before Swine is still better, though.

Cormacj · February 26th, 2008, 12:28 AM

For an American Darby is pretty up on things from outside the US; he likes rugby and quite often Robs shirts are national team shirts.

The stig is a new one though...

lilblackdemon · February 28th, 2008, 06:30 PM

Darby Conley does stuff like this all the time. I have a comic from a few years ago that I saved (it was an awesome strip that day) where Rob (the main character, along with Bucky Katt and Satchel) was wearing an "All Blacks" shirt with a New Zealand silver fern leaf on it. If I hadn't been to NZ, as an American it probably would have flown right over my head.

That said, Rob always wears shirts like this.

eddard · May 7th, 2008, 03:50 AM

May 3th: Rob's wearing his "Stig" shirt again.......

By far, the best comic strip to ever grace the papers! Bucky Katt is my hero.
