As an ex-Brownie (to the Girl Scouts what the Cub Scouts are to the Boy Scouts), I can readily affirm that [Little Bunny Foo Foo](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Bunny_Foo_Foo) has committed the crime of scooping up field mice and bopping them on their heads. (It’s a song.) ---

Mind you, even though I didn’t get it, it was still funnier than any of the other _F minus_ “jokes” I looked at. ---

Good lord, is that comic still around? _The Arizona Republic_ started carrying it because the cartoonist is local, and despite the painful, **painful** nature of the comic it wouldn’t drop it. I won’t say it was the primary reason I cancelled my subscription, but it was one of many. ---

I find that it grows on me, much like the Dinette Set and Days of Thunder. I love searching for the Sequiturs. ---

Isn’t it because the mouse on the poster has such big ears? Hence the nickname ‘Bunny?’ Or I guess on second look, that is a rabbit on the poster. I have no clue. ---

There’s no middle ground on F Minus, it seems. I’m in the camp that loves it. (Though I’m secretly jealous.) ---

Yeah, F-Minus runs hot and cold. Read Sept. 28th’s strip. If that doesn’t make you laugh, you probably won’t like anything it offers. ---

Then read the September 21 comic (last week’s Sunday strip). If that doesn’t make you appreciate the idiocy of this comic, you’re free to like it. F Minus is one of the few comics that actually pisses me off on most days. Today it didn’t, thankfully. ---
