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.

Panel 4:
Satch looks a little guilty, but when did guilt ever prevent a dog from eating something disgusting?

I don’t think he feels guilty…
I think he feels sick…
A little…um…tarry-eyed.

Is it possible? Is there actually something in the ‘not food’ column?

To me, Satch looks like he needs to get to the bathroom quickly…and throw up.

I think he is embarrassed he let it slip that he has eaten asphalt before.

Susan sweetie, I did. this time around I’m using my i-Pad so it was easy to rotate, enlarge and do a screen shot. I’m afraid it’s gonna be grainy. When I get back to my laptop I’ll attempt plan B. BTW is the Tiki a cyber place you and the others “meet” ????

I can relate. I got smooth-talked into eating some tar that was bubbling up along the edge of the road one hot summer day. I was also led to believe that was where licorice came from…….was sick the rest of the day…….

Reminds me of when I was growing up. Someone told us the way to get your teeth pretty and white was to chew tar. Needless to say, we tried it. Didn’t work. I feel for you Satch.
