Housecats are known to be aloof, but "cat-titude" reaches new heights in Get Fuzzy, the bitingly hilarious comic strip from cartoonist Darby Conley. Available daily and Sunday and appearing in 650 newspapers nationwide, Get Fuzzy is a wry portrait of single life, with pets. At the center of this warm and fuzzy romp is Rob Wilco, a single, mild-mannered ad executive and guardian of anthropomorphic scamps Bucky and Satchel. Bucky is a temperamental cat who clearly wears the pants in this eccentric household. Satchel is a gentle pooch who tries to remain neutral, but frequently ends up on the receiving end of Bucky's mischief. Together, this unlikely trio endures all the trials and tribulations of a typical family... more or less.
The National Cartoonists Society honored Get Fuzzy with a Reuben division award, naming it the Best Newspaper Comic Strip of 2002. There are a dozen Get Fuzzy compilation books published by Andrews McMeel: The Dog Is Not a Toy (House Rule #4); Get Fuzzy 2: Fuzzy Logic; Groovitude: A Get Fuzzy Treasury; The Get Fuzzy Experience: Are You Bucksperienced; Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun; Blueprint for Disaster; Say Cheesy; Scrum Bums; Loserpalooza; I'm Ready for My Movie Contract; and Take Our Cat, Please; plus Get Fuzzy wall and box calendars.

Meat Is Murder perhaps, yet it Certainly Tastes Good….!

The cat makes a good point. But I still don’t think Satchel should be in the kitchen alone.

Aww… Bucky is so cute in the fourth panel!
“Don’t kill SATCHEL, he’s about to make me lunch!”
One of the things that makes this different from Garfield is that it is a longer joke.

Bucky’s starting to make sense. And Rob is calling Satchel to come to his rescue? The End Is Nie

Yeah Rob, don’t turn on Satchel.

Haha Rob, you gotta admit, you can’t expect a cat to be vegan…

If there’s no meat in the house, then what is Satchel going to use to make a non-vegan lunch for B.K., apart from that diet cat food stuff? I wonder if he’ll eat Satchel’s chow? Raid the weasels for their food!

Beware, vegans, for you are crunchy and good with mustard.

Satchel is the only one in the strip I ever feel sorry for, and a lot of the trouble he gets he walks right in to

If there’s no meat in the house, the ASPCA might want to have a word with Rob about proper feline nutrition.

Rob said he doesn’t have steaks in the house, not that there’s no meat in the house; there’s meat-based dog food, and meat-based cat food. Rob’s a vegan, but it’s not a vegan household…
