Only Famous People Get Action Figures
I caught up on my Get Fuzzy reading tonight. This past week’s strips had the theme of Bucky the cat wanting a statue of himself. He claims, “Statues show people who they need to idolize. The are visual aids, if you will, to show the idiot masses who their betters are. For only perfect people are made into statues.” (Of course, later he says a lot of famous people ordered their statues to be made, but let’s just ignore that point.) He then turns Rob’s entire action figure collection into action figures of himself.
For some reason, the exchange reminded me of some of the reasons why Accoutrements made the action figure of librarian Nancy Pearl.
