I cannot believe Darby Conley got away with this one. He regularly pushes a little bit against the limits of what one can get away with in a daily, mainstream comic strip, but _this_ just left me flabbergasted. I don’t know what the original date of publication was. On the 2008 desktop calendar, it’s the March 26 strip, and it’s copyright 2005. The setup: Rob announces that his mom isn’t cooking a turkey for Easter that year (she’s gone vegetarian or something), and Bucky complains, on the grounds that it should be a rabbit anyway. Rob: “Rabbit? For Easter? What are you, crazy?” Bucky: “Christmas turkey, Thanksgiving turkey, Valentine’s Day beaver, Easter Bunny. It’s tradition!” Rob’s last line says it all: “Hold on … Valentine’s Day what?” ---

Perhaps “beaver” was a compromise, because at first I thought of a different animal. Thought it wouldn’t have made sense with Bucky already being there. ---

My husband brought home this exact comic to me yesterday. Silly me thought it was just another scrap piece of paper until he told me to read it. I re-read it twice, cause I was like, ‘whaaaat?’ :eek: Of course I asked if it was a coincidence cause there was SD thread on it too, unless I saw this thread was dated today. 😃 ---
