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.

As one who carries a clipboard regularly, it would be nice if it would come when called. Clippy. I like that for a name. Pincher sounds too painful.

NyukNyuk, pleases accept my condolences on the loss of your cat. Losing a pet can be very sad indeed. They work their little ways into our hearts. And, alas, because their time with us is so short, our hearts are destined to break.

And somebody hasn’t been thinking for an hour…

I think it died to be free

Nyuk Nyuk – please don’t ill-wish people. It comes back on you.

And like most people with free will, they don’t do anything useful with it…

It either has free will or is stubborn — or both.

Can’t help wondering what the heck Bucky has going on in his furry little mind!

After an hour of watching them, I’m board….

The clipboard may have free will, but I strongly suspect that neither participant has any sense.

I wish to complain about this clipboard what I purchased not ’alf an hour ago from this very boutique.

Or maybe it just doesn’t want anything to do with either of them. “If I ignore them, maybe they’ll go away…”

A clipboard with “free will?” Did it once belong to Neil Peart? Or even Ayn Rand?

You still have made a choice…”
