Yes, “Who’s on first?” And I can just hear the rapid questions and impatient answers. Got to be one of Paul’s best! It evokes not just the video but the audio as well.
Welp, who didn’t see this classic coming from the depths of the comedic sea? its still funny though.
and this is also me and my mother on a daily basis. >:D
“I guess you could say Stinky was “piloting” the sub”
“Stinky? Was that his nick-name?”
“No, Stinky the giant octopus. You remember Stinky.”
“Oh yeah, THAT Stinky! But … how did he fit in the sub?”
“No, you loon! Look, it was a WW2 sub …”
“Stinky piloted a sub in WW2!?”
“AUUUUGHHHH!”
I’m with the White King on this one. Much better advice than the Red queen’s: “Speak in French when you can’t think of the English for a thing–turn out your toes as you walk–and remember who you are!”
In Brandi’s defense, Bud is explaining this poorly because she’s just answering questions without providing background. All Brandi’s got so far is Bud blew up Monica’s sandbar with a submarine crewed by skeletons, and a grenade figures in there somewhere. It’s no wonder she’s confused.
Bud should poit to a volcano or furnace or something and burn all that crud off her before she messes up the carpet.
Luckily Brandi didn’t start with: “Ohkay, deep breaths, deep breaths . Now start from the beginning” That would have ruined a perfectly good miscommunication-gag.
Bud’s last ,exasperated ,annoyed face, combined with the hair slowly dropping, still has me in stitches…

Hey, Bud, stop what you’re doin’!
Hey, Bud, you’ll drive me to ruin.
I don’t know what it is that I smell on you, but I dislike it a lot.
Won’t tell me what you’ve got in your arms.
Communication Breakdown, It’s always the same,
I’m having a nervous breakdown, Drive me insane!
Hey, Brandi, I got something I think you ought to see.
Hey, Brandi, I got it from an old German submarine.
I wanna show you whats in my arms, yeah!
I don’t know what it is though, and it might do us harm!
Oh lordy! I know just how Bud feels in the last frame.
Perfect up-date of Abbot & Costello,too, Pablo! This week – priceless! I don’t know whether Bud should Gibb-slap Brandi or face-palm herself at this point. I’m sure she doesn’t know either.
There is a whole wealth of context that Brandi is not privy to. Now that the conversation has gone off the rails it’ll be difficult to get back on track.
Well, when Bud first arrives kind of incoherent
she sets off all sorts of Mom instincts in Brandy.
And nothing gets better with time and explanation.
I imagine in the next panel, Bud letting go with a teenagerish, Mommmm! with even more eye roll.
So let’s see… Bud talked to a captain who was dead, but couldn’t answer, yet told of how he planned to sink the sub, which wasn’t sunk so Bud finds the chiochki in the sunken sub that the dead captain was trying to destroy but couldn’t so that Bud has an item that a dead captain tried to destroy but couldn’t because he himself was destroyed, so Bud destroyed it for him and the rest of the sub that the captain was trying to do in the first place.
Who’s on first?
Gah, You stole my line!!! I’ll never forgive you.
OK enough pouting. That was my first thought. as well. while reading the comic.
Third Base!
Yes, but what about the shortstop?
IDGAD
Tomorrow?
That’s the pitcher; Today’s the catcher (or do I have them reversed?). I would say that I don’t know the outfielders’ names, but that’s third.
In Brandy’s defense, Bud isn’t explaining this very well.
Because she’s only answering Brandi’s questions, and what little new she volunteers has no context.
Bud reminds of a character in the last panel, but I can’t place it for the life of me. It’ll probably hit tomorrow before I go to bed.
One of those troll dolls?
reminds me just a little of Nudge.
Tepoz with his wig on?
Dietzel reacting to something Monica says.
That’s what I was thinking.
Though it could be one of Marge Simpson’s sisters.
I was getting hints of Kilroy off that panel
I just can’t get over that awesome super saiyan hair
THANK YOU! I was trying to place that hair.
Sure, Bud isn’t explaining this clearly, but at least we didn’t have to endure two weeks of grunty power-up sequences to get to this point.
though it appears there will be grunting this following week. just look at bud in the last panel. She looks like she wants to punch something, hard.
You mean she’s over 9000?!
Heheheh.
WHAT?! 9000?!?
I *snerk* at Brandi’s density! …actually, she reminds me of how I all-too-often think
…and I sympathize with Bud…
SKELETONS ON A SUB!! Sequel to SNAKES ON A PLANE.
No, What was piloting; Who was on sonar.
No wait, they were German: Wir was on sonar, Was was at the helm and Weissesnicht was the navigator.
I’m the 8th person to comment and you have already taken my joke….ggrrr…you win this round.
*giggles*
love that one
Was was? Warum?
Too funny! Good thing I wasn’t drinking anything.

okay Bud take a deep breath count to 10 then start with how stinky found you and go from there
Wow, the communication problem here is kinda painful to read. But you gotta start at the very beginning Bud.
Start at the very beginning. It’s a very good place to start!
Start at the beginning, keep going until you come to the end, then stop.
I’m with the White King on this one. Much better advice than the Red queen’s: “Speak in French when you can’t think of the English for a thing–turn out your toes as you walk–and remember who you are!”
When you read you begin with ABC, and when you sing you begin with Do Re Mi. Would it follow that to begin a story you start with Listen To Me?
Perhaps in this case followed by And Don’t Interrupt…
Geez, this sounds like me talking to my daughter about her school day.
“What does your butterfly hatching have to do with what you had for lunch?!”
she ate a butterfly O.o
A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, and the Nazis win WW2. Or something like that.
Start over girls, before you give yourselves a headache
Too late!
You know, my day went kind of like this, too.
“Well what we got here is a failure to communicate.”
<3
OMG! I love how her hair is starting to wilt under the crazy questioning!
For all her brains, Brandi can be amazingly dense… hehehehe
The last few pages are a true laugh-fest. The visual gags are outstanding.
In Brandi’s defense, Bud is explaining this poorly because she’s just answering questions without providing background. All Brandi’s got so far is Bud blew up Monica’s sandbar with a submarine crewed by skeletons, and a grenade figures in there somewhere. It’s no wonder she’s confused.

Bud’s last ,exasperated ,annoyed face, combined with the hair slowly dropping, still has me in stitches…
In Bud’s defense, Brandi is firing off questions without giving Bud a chance to explain further…
@Jay-Em: you took my thought. For being the Brainy GGG, she sure isn’t using it today. Poor, Acacia, I know how she feels.
Brandi is the smart one not the quick one. She’s better at deep thinking than the others. Also the Team Mom, of course.
Bud … you’re starting to wilt …
This is either “Who’s on first?” or “Why a duck?”…
I’m leaning more towards “why a duck?” mostly because Bud didn’t! ba-dum-CH
Bud’s valve wheel is migrating.
~we all live in a blown up submarine!
Blown up submarine!
Blown up submarine!~

Hey, Bud, stop what you’re doin’!

Perfect up-date of Abbot & Costello,too, Pablo! This week – priceless! I don’t know whether Bud should Gibb-slap Brandi or face-palm herself at this point. I’m sure she doesn’t know either.
She’s seen Star Trek. A mere glimpse at Picard instantly gives one complete and total knowledge of the facepalm and all associated lore.
Bud’s expression in the last panel is perfect. It would be improved only by the addition of a Na’vi hiss… or rattling Brandi’s teeth a bit.
I think we start this conversation over.
panel one looks like bud is about to be shot out of a cannon. Cue the midget clown trampoline brigade.
I got the Golem Cannonball vibe from the first panel, too.
HEeey, AB-BOooooT!
This is why I always insist on explaining things in a Chronological format.
There is a whole wealth of context that Brandi is not privy to. Now that the conversation has gone off the rails it’ll be difficult to get back on track.
There will HAVE to be a Patch Together of “Bud in a Can”…
I’ve had conversations like this before. LMAO
Why the sub Bud blew up sank .
When a friend looks like an over toasted marshmellow, logic has little chance of out weighing PANIC!!!
Well, when Bud first arrives kind of incoherent

…see, simple as that
