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.

Oh no you din’t! Yeah..I’ve always thought of Bucky as a moderate…I’m a liberal and I support the spirit of the occupy movement, but here’s proof that conservatives don’t have a sense of humor: I never once heard one of them call the people camping out in the park, the Flea Party! For being so frisky, they seem kinda slow…

Oppressed, imprisoned, or set adrift….I don’t know Buck, Satch is gonna want to know what kind of food comes with each deal….

More canine and feline doubletalk that my brain cannot process at this hour. But, Satchel’s muzzle (and flews) are the right colour today.

I think a spoonful of castor oil whould help Bucky a lot.

Maybe it’s time to give all US a flea dip, to eliminate the fleas and their partying…give the fleas what they’ve been
partying about…their destruction so we stop itching…

I was wondering how long it would take for the political comments to begin.

@J. Short
Well, it is a political cartoon and not funny enough to comment on the humor.

The Buckster has wonderful plans for the future and looks great in the second frame.

That’s because you weren’t listening.

The sad fact that you claim to support the nonexistent occupy squatters unfortunately tells us all we need to know about you and your intellect.
