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.

LOVE the murder in Bucky’s eyes in panel 3.

Satchel just snarfed a piece of bread….BTW, what’s the difference between a worst enemy and a best enemy? By enemy standards, wouldn’t the “best” enemy actually be the worst enemy?…..

It looks like Rob left a sandwich out for Satchel.

Suzanne .. or maybe Rob left a sandwich out for Rob…
Varnes… of that’s not confusing enough…. if there’s such a thing as a “best enemy,” there must also be a “worst _friend.”_
Are they the same?

I would have thought vacuum cleaners were Satchel’s worst enemy.

“would you rather have your crush fall in love with your best friend or your worst enemy?”
My worst enemy.
Because if he is any grade of enemy that means I don’t like him, unlike my best friend. If she falls for my best friend then I lost my friend and I still have an enemy. If she falls for my enemy then I still have my best friend. And considering that she will probably eventually break his heart and leave him, better him than me, all the more sweet revenge.
Now all of this deep philosophy is hurting my head, can I go back to bed now? No? Well off to work then…

I can relate to the slow writing process. I originally developed a concept for a story in May, and right now I’m only half-done writing the final draft of the story! But I’m more actively working on it now.

Yep looks like Satch hit a nerve there!
