Nothing's as bad as the clown

I am doing some Get Fuzzy research, and found a fan site and a forum discussing the strip in question. They are as confused as we are, so no (fuzzy) dice. I did learn that the contact page on the Get Fuzzy page has been down for awhile, so maybe Darby Conley's been overwhelmed with "WTF?" comments. I mean, it's as bad as the creepy clown.

Of course, the difference is that here, I suspect the artist is making some sort of nuanced, hipper than thou joke that li'l ol' me don't get. In the case of the creepy clown, I just think . . . well, I still don't know what to think. Did you ever see that episode of CSI where the lady had a thing for clowns and ended up fucking the clown from her kid's birthday party? Yeah, weird. Clowns (creepy and otherwise) are just plain weird. John Wayne Gacy? Yeah.

Here we just have unexplained blank spots and then the old timey test pattern. Today's strip wasn't about television, so my theory that this is a "history of tv" week is shot. Will we ever know? I'll keep checking the forum, and I'll let you know what I hear.
