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.

Where’s the uplifting affirmation, targeted to my particular religious affiliation? Huh?

Everybody yells at their computer sometimes.

You know you are in deep doo-doo when it answers back, though!

“Open the pod bay doors please, HAL!”
“I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that.”
“STUPID $%@*& Windows 2001…!”

If you view the zombies as a metaphor for children, according to the end of the movie, they’re good for entertainment and cheap labor, and the best way to raise them is to keep them locked in a shed with a video game console.

Who, or what, is HAL?

Space Odyssey 2001. He was the computer that took over their spaceship and killed off crewmembers. HAL was one mean computer.

With most of them, with the right video game console and a well stocked fridge, you wouldn’t have to keep the shed locked.

Going to RottenTomatoes, I was unable to find the review in question-tho I got a ton of 404 errors, which means it might exist anyway.

Finally, an admission that the liberals are just as eager to be judgmental as they accuse the conservatives of being. Finally something both sides can agree on: judgment and hypocrisy.

Shaun of the Dead taught us the values of life-long (and death-long) friendships.

HAL was, however, very polite. After unsuccessfully trying to kill an astronaut via explosive decompression, HAL delivers one of the great sci-fi movie lines. “I can see you’re upset about this, Dave.”

I just searched for it on Google, and the RottenTomatoes link came right up. They gave it a 91%, and none of the bad reviewers said anything about the lack of message, so it must be another site.
