About Get Fuzzy
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.

“Doozy” originally came from the Dusenberg car, to mean anything that looks spectacular but turns out to be very bad. So Bucky’s probably right.

The Duesenberg was anything BUT bad and a “Doozy” is something that is extraordinary or amazing, not something bad.

As Lauren said,
“doozy-something excellent”
“doozy-a wonderful, or excellent thing
NOTHING to do with “turns out to be very bad”.

Not sure of the original meaning of “doozy” but the Duesenberg was a beloved classic car that was anything but bad.

I still think that D.U.S.I. could win a few rounds of Battlebots.

…and wouldn’t Bucky be confident that his invention was the Duesdenberg (or Cadillac) of blender attachments?

It’s wonderful to wake up and be entertained by the comics and informed by the commentators. I never knew that about the word “doozy”, though I often used it. Thanks.,br>It should be interesting to see Bucky"s invention in action. Find a safe place Satch!.

Bucky – Ron Popeil called – said to keep your day job – and to stop inventing – I could not understand the rest – he was sobbing miserably..

it’s like driving on snow – just because you can GO 100mph doesn’t mean that you can STOP
