Get Fuzzy and Pittsburgh...

Oops....looks like Darby Conley hit a nerve amongst Pittsburghers with his October 29 Get Fuzzy ....... here's the article about the backlash. Turns out that one of Darby's friends lives in Pittsburgh, and the strip was an inside joke meant to jag him an' at.

I'm as sensitive to people from outside Pittsburgh making fun of the city as anyone, but making death threats is not cool. If you threaten someone, yer a jagoff.

Speaking as someone from... well, where I'm from...

That's barely insulting! :P

I only visited Pittsburgh once, back in 1991 or so when I went to visit Carnegie Mellon to scope it out, and honestly, I thought the city smelled too.

Sorry...
