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.

That’d mean watching SportsCenter.

Bucky should start his own baseball team, call it the Bucksters, use a catnip mouse for a ball, and bat at it with his paws. Satch could be the pitcher. He’s big enough to go nine innings. The other teams would be made up of the neighborhood cats and dogs. The winning team would get a bowl of eternally refilling tuna burgers and beef burgers for the dogs. A League of Their Own!

Bucky knows the right way…why sit through all of that when you can watch that game called highlights….funny

Bucky…tell Rob that as a Red Sox fan, there are no highlights.

I’m with Bucky on this one. I love going to games, but watching it on TV, ugh.

Bucky won’t have to worry about any Red Sox highlights, just Yankees (seriously? giving up a two run homer in the bottom of the ninth? To the second batter in the inning?)

A game of Highlights… tonight’s match-up – Goofus Vs. Gallant.

I swear, a basket ball game is only interesting near the end….I say give both teams 88 points, and then just play the final ten minutes…….

“maybe a hockey game…”
Now THAT’S where the action is. And a real game.

Better than pro basketball: bounce, bounce, shoot, bounce, bounce, shoot, bounce, bounce, shoot, bounce, bounce, shoot, bounce, bounce, shoot, bounce, bounce, shoot, …

I think Bucky’s right on this one! Who was it who said that baseball is 15 minutes of action packed into two and a half hours?
