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.

Cue Bucky’s theme song: “Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re perfect in every way….”

Look at the Bucky in the third panel. Priceless.

He’s been treating Satchel as an equal?

You’re absolutely right, Bucky. Satchel isn’t your equal. He’s way better than that ;)

Bucky is an autodidact, who’s totaled his auto.

I know a kid who has developed a Cat IQ test. Not kidding, he’s headed for the national science fair finals. By my way of thinking, a smart cat is the one who stays out of our yard. Boss Bailey, retired racing greyhound, likes the dumb ones. The average cat IQ is rising slowly around here.

Exactly my thought. Satchel is NOT dumb by any stretch of the imagination, he’s naive, innocent and trusting. All good things, in moderation, that Bucky is NOT.

“I always just thought he was a little slow. But, man, he’s stationary.”
Bucky’s always got the best one-liners. Yeah technically it was two, but it’s still good. I’ve got to remember that one.

-————————————————————————————————Conley sure is a talented artist, isn’t he? All you see is Bucky’s eyes, nose and the top of his head but it says so much!

Will somebody please get Rob a comb?

But Bucky is also insulting Rob. If Rob relates to Satch who is dumb, what does that make Rob? Look at Rob’s expression in the third panel!
