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.

The Pollution's Gone in Pittsburgh...

Yeah, but the pollution and industrial stench (as well as most of the steel jobs) are gone. As far as I know Buffalo still gets tons of snow (and in Portland and Seattle, it starts raining Oct. 15 and doesn't stop until early May).
