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 get some mumbo jumbo about “meta”. what happened to “get fuzzy” on my google home page? I can only get the daily strip by googling it, not by clicking on the strip itself.

No, but I’m afraid to imagine, with a monkey that is.

Where did Satchel get that idea?

Scratch and sniff. Pretty much sums up a dog’s outlook, doesn’t it. Sort of like scratch and spit to a ball player.

Bucky is not a good novelist. Once he made a novel about staring at a wall. I mean, “Chapter 24: In Which I Shift My Butt”…

oh, like the infamously Huster bomb of the 70’s? Lilacs? WTF? Larry Flynt said if anyone could bottle the scent of the real thing, he’s use it. But all we got was lilacs…
