How on earth did this usage of the word” uncle” come into play in bullying circles? Wouldn’t “mommy” be more appropriate, for mama’s boys? What do bullies say today, “cousin twice-removed”? Now that’s just plain mean. Scut Farcus would be appalled.

Somewhat surprised Fred’s not meowing at the bullies! As for “uncle,” apparently it may have to with parrots . . . http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-say1.htm (Fascinating, if true.)
One thing I really like about this tribute piece is we get to see Fred complete the disguise of dog and act protective scaring off the aggressors But unfortunately we know the Scut Farkus types in the world and they’ll be back, oh they will be back until he can stand up for himself. Weird kids needs to hurry up and get that Blue Blaster gun for Christmas so he can shoot their eyes out. 🙂
Fred is nothing if not loyal! and yup, the whole “ignore them and they’ll go away” method sure doesn’t work with bullies….
Great fence climbing poses in panel three. I’m starting to feel real bad for the weird kid. He needs to start lifting some weights or something and toughen up.
or find a way to out-smart the meatheads, yes!
Nothing quite like aliens in dog suits as protection from bullies
wish I had my own posse!
