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.

i always thought that would make a good autobiographical title- “confessions of an unused mind”…

Wow, that gag, or one similar to it, goes all the way back to “Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein”!
Dracula wants to put Lou Costello’s brain in the Monster to revive it, and Costello is begging for his life…“You Don’t want my brain! I’ve had it for 35 years, and it’s never worked right!”SusanElaine said, about 1 year ago

I for one Satch would like to read your reflections on the canine condition.

On the plus side, he is at least aware of the fact that he’s not using it. …unlike so many humans we know. That puts him three steps ahead in my book.

And even with Satchel’s brain, Bucky would still be short on smarts (after all if you add a value to a deficit you still have less than the original).
I love Satchel and always defend him against comments about being stupid or dumb and this vindicates me. Satchel isn’t stupid, he isn’t dumb or ignorant, he simply doesn’t use his brain.

Laurel and Hardy used a similar gag as well, which likely predates Abbott and Costello. A great joke never dies.

@Luvsmesumdog
Likely Rob…then he went and bought Bucky and Satch their OWN notebooks; now neither one is allowed to use (or possibly even look at!) the other one’s writings!

Ditto to that Trusted Mechanic! We are on Team Satchel!
