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’m with Buck on this one :) Most of the time, watching baseball ranks right up there with watching paint dry.

Baseball is a fascinating game – so many ways to pitch and score. People who think baseball is boring usually like soccer, which is really boring—just kicking a ball back and forth with no variation. Baseball rules are complicated – ground rule doubles, balks, stealing bases,etc. I watch every Yankee baseball game, including spring training games, and I wait eagerly for each new season to begin. Bucky would like to watch “My Cat From Hell” on the Animal Channel. Darby isn’t taking sides because Rob’s baseball cap doesn’t show a team logo. Go Yankees!

There are a lot worse “sports” on TV, such as golf, darts, billiards…fine if you want to do them, but not much as TV viewing. I remember a TV show from the 60s that had 2 old guys sitting in a rowboat, fishing. Just sitting there, waiting for a bite, not saying much.
The BBC runs darts on TV from 2 to 7 PM during the “season.” Straight through. Bucky would be comatose by then.

The most enjoyable baseball games for me were announced by Vin Sculley on warm Sunday afternoons when the world seemed a more benign place.

I don’t like baseball … or soccer! I do watch the little league world series though.

Actually, if you expand the picture, you see Rob is a Red Sox fan—and has been for some time

Not a whole lot beats a good ballgame on a warm day or evening with a cold brew and food of choice.

With Rob’s BoSox out of it this year, perhaps Bucky has a point!

I live in Massachusetts. I support 2 baseball teams: the Red Sox and whoever beats the Yankees.
