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.

“Almost” only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades. Better try again, Satch. See if you can do a better, more complete job next time.

A line I might use in a story, ‘You could have broken my neck!’
‘You mean I didn’t? I’ll have to try harder next time!’

Our Labrador does that when he’s asleep . . I think he’s chasing rabbits in his dreams.

Yeah … sorry ain’t gonna cut it Satch … better do what you do best .. raid Bucky’s litter box for some “tootsie rolls” … Even Tickle (Moonshiners) says that cat turds are dogs favorite treats!

Nope. No referee to call it.

Hurrah! There are times when I wish Rob would, at least, threaten to have Bucky ‘put to sleep’. But I will settle for Satchel kicking him into a wall. Too bad Bucky will forget this happened, and go back to harassing Satchel, again.

Death throbes? I thought that’s just the way Satchel kills things. You know, downard thingy.
