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.

It’s all about target marketing these days.
Get the Dragnet fans with Dumb and Da-DUM-Dum.
Get the cigar crowd with Dumbledore and Humidor.
Get the vacillators with Dumb and/or Dumber.

Good ole Bucky!
Swiftly stealing Satchel’s film title.

My favorite episodes of Dragnet were the ones where they encountered hippies…Always great! They were really funny when you were high…

“Dragnet”?
I find it difficult to think that y’all are referring to the RADIO program of the late FORTIES.
I must’ve missed something more recent, eh?

Oh, yeah. I remember the TV program: Sgt. Friday looked just like my dad.
I guess the earliest memories are the last to go….

For the fairy tale crowd – Dumb and Dumblestiltskin?

I still think the pictures elicited by radio were better than on TV. Since Joe Friday was sponsored by Fatima, I could smell the smoke on his jacket…or was that my dad’s jacket?
And the commercials: I was allowed to delay my bedtime long enough to hear the Carribean-influenced Mazola song (which was full of animated yellows and reds).
Yup. AM radio broadcast in full-color, 3-D and OE (Olfactory Effect).

Maybe it was 27 miles to where the guy dropped his glove. BTW, when did England change from kilometers to miles for distance?

Finding that this strip has been rather one dimensional lately. Movies over and over and over. Getting very bored.

rshive, we’ve never done km in England — we’re still getting to grips with decimal currency!
