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.

Clear proof that meat makes you a subgenius. Hot dog!

Oh well, being a genius sounds like too much work anyway. I think I’ll wolf down a quarter pounder and go take a nap.

Vegetarians don’t live longer. It just seems longer.

Hitler was a vegetarian… So, Bucky, don’t be one, by all means.

Conrad Stoffelmeier was a meat eater. Maybe that is why you never heard of him…………

I’ve had a little think about my comment earlier re Hitler and vegetarians and realized that it was completely unacceptable to make such an unjustified and unpleasant generalisation and I apologise without reservation. I will now remove that comment. I’ll leave the one that replies to jukeofurl.

Hitler also drank water and breathed oxygen. Don’t do either. Don’t be Hitler. Come on people….really!

Hitler’s vegetarianism is a common misconception, but in fact he ate meat – he particularly enjoyed German sausage, not snoted for their high cereal content!
He also drank beer and wine, though not spirits. He was, however a non-smoker.
The image of the teetotal, vegetarian celibate was propaganda – it was supposed to suggest that he cared nothing for his personal comfort, but only for the German people.
