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.

Mongolia hasn’t been a “superpower” since the 1200s, so that would be a bad deal. The Klingon Empire on the other hand would be a pretty good choice.

China might be a better choice these days.

Never, NEVER discuss superpowers with someone with a sock in his mouth

Also, Greece seems to be well past its sell-by date.

@Bruno Zeigerts
Unethical business practices, complete disregard for the environment, and lack of respect are not enough to be a superpower.

Panel Three:
It’s just dawning on Buckey that maybe Satch is on a different page.
Darby genius at work!

My flex-payment to my internet provider hasn’t taken effect yet (making my connection extremely slow), so the comments loaded long before the strip did. So, all the talk about superpower nations set me up perfectly.
Thanks.

unnormal, yeah, Darby is in rare form here….anybody here ever played Risk? Do you know how hard it is to hold Asia? Yeah, I’d go with America too…

I love it when Satch plays obtuse. He knows how crazy it makes Bucky, but he does it with such finesse Bucky really thinks he’s dumb. I had a coworker who specialised in it, too. Keeps people from asking you for extra help.

Cheer up R2 Wolf! Al Gore said he Fixed the environment with the Clean Air Act! Course he does his best to pollute more than his fair share. But he’s allowed because: he Cares!

You’ll get no argument from me on that. Al Gore is NO friend to me.
