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.

Three more straight panels and Bucky’s still making sense!? Now I KNOW he hit his head on the way down. Maybe there was a window ledge in the way…

“Whatever killed the bat” was probably old age…. so maybe Bucky’s problem is a case of acquired senile dementia?
Naw, he’s always been demented.

Doesn’t Bucky just look so pathetic in panels 1 & 3? Sweet, cuddly and pathetic, now you gotta feel some pity for the little furball. But thank goodness, and Fry & Lewis that he is still with us. He had at least one life left.

How do they know the bat was not playing possum?

Rob should get him goofed up on pain killers!

Kinda looks like Darby forgot what he drew toward the beginning of this series. Bucky was definitely holding a whole dead bat back then. Or I guess it’s possible that Bucky’s memory is screwed up from the fall and he thinks he only got the wings.

@nobody
Nope. Whole bat + scissors = 2 bat wings and a mouse toy.

He bought them off a possum? Yep, that’s Bucky the great hunter … the great bargin hunter.

But Satchel has a really good point… He comes out with pure logic some times
