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.

And what is the point of what Satchel did? It makes no sense to me.

I had a partner who WAS a numismatist, and we had several rolls of “Error Pennies”, mis-strikes, two-headed coins, and the like. When he passed away, they brought quite a lot at auction. Some of the single pennies brought as much as $25 apiece. Also, he had a full roll of 1909SVDB Mint Uncirculated pennies as well.
Same with misprinted and error bills of various denominations.

Not like the fake party the Republiclans are. They have faked their way through everything in the last 100+ years to get away with their lies, crimes & treason. Yet they blame Obama, the Democrats & Liberals for the crap your beloved Reich-wing GOP has done. Grow up traitor!

Kind of like real pennies — more expensive to make than what they’re worth. But at least you can eat Satchel’s creations (or at least he could).
