Ur Buzza Wuzza

first published 17 May 2010

This strip strikes me as pure Buzza Wuzza, If you haven't seen him before, he's a loosely drawn yellow cat who lives out his life on a beach with his friend, Riggs the red cat, his pal, Pal, an alien called Dr Guam, a host, and a single solitary spiky bush. Looming behind them all, manipulating their moods and controlling their destinies is a mysterious entity only known as The Sea Wall. He popped up on Sherpa earlier this year and he's quickly found an appreciative audience, drawn to to uniqueness and completeness of its vision. Nothing and everything happens - it is like a mixture of Waiting for Godot and Lost populated by funny animals. External influences very rarely intrude on Buzza's little universe - though occasionally a girl cat appears called Judy Moon. Nothing is explained, but everything makes sense in its own strange way.

This strip strikes me as the kind of thing that would happen in Buzza Wuzza., only the characters would then worry about the philosophical ramifications of invisibility for the next few days.  Jones' pose in frame two is also very Buzza - only with more realistically proportioned forelimbs.
