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.

Not quite. It’s a laundrette. But it’s his. And he thinks it’s beautiful.

Yup, the usual non-communication conversation.

What is Rob’s tee-shirt referring to?

@Richard S. Russell
So is Mac the Omar character (Gordon Warnecke) or the Johnny character (Daniel Day-Lewis)? And does that make Bucky the other one?

At The Outfitter Shop’s CafePress store you can get products with “Free (your name selection)” on them. I’ve seen that phrase refer to Keith Richards (Rolling Stones), Keith Moon (The Who), and Keith Olbermann (formerly of Current TV and MSNBC).

Rob’s T-shirt – Free Keith (Richards) of the R. Stones fame, circa 1979.
So we’re getting an idea of Conley’s age. And now Bewerly Dales, on top of last month’s Monkey Bridge reference. Methinks he might be a Yorkshire man.
Any cousins across the pond ?

Thank you for simply doing a search. Some people on here just guess and assume at things they could simply google.

Aww. I was hoping the T-shirt was referring to Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale….

I myself assumed it was Keith Partridge that Rob’s shirt was referring to.

I hope this doesn’t mean that it will be a long time before we see Mac again. He’s one of the strongest attributes of this strip!

Rob, it took 4 frames to get that laundromat line. You need some adult friends.

Bucky is referencing Martin Amis’ new novel, “Lional Asbo”. This was the first time Americans were made aware of the legal British term," Asbo" for dysfunctional kids having an “Anti-Social Behavior Order.”
