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.

Ben Franklin looks better when he says “Bald is beautiful, baby!”

Flies have s single, communal soul. When Bucky eats the last fly, the HUGE ghost of all flies will come to haunt him, buzzing relentlessly around his head until exorcise with a rolled-up newspaper.

There! I hope all you people who have been complaining about Bucky’s literary aspirations are satisfied. Darby has come right out and said it… Bucky’s ideas are so rotten, they’re drawing flies!

Once again, the intricate labyrinth that is Mr. Conley’s comic genius leaves me in awe!

Ah! I remember fly paper, and could watch it for hours, all those silent screams.

Thin line between genius and insanity – and I love exploring that difference :)

Dairies are plentiful in our area. In the Fall, flies are EVERYWHERE. I use fly strips, sprays, and have fly swatters in every room. Waiting for a hard frost.

@Adman47
And if you consider those who comment on comic strips to be “morons” (your word?), and you felt the need to comment on that in this section, that would make you….?

As abNorman says “they don’t have ghosts.”

Not to defend Adman47 and his use of the word “morons” (not to mention the unspoken “R” word) but that’s pretty much what Brooke McEldowney (9 Chickweed Land and Pibgorn) has done; he has had the comments section disabled on his strips.

Bucky and Satchel are getting along…priceless.
