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.

‘Is the personal transporter all right?’

I read that the guy who invented those drove one off a cliff. I don’t know about the transporter, but he died. If true, it’s ironic.

It’s true.
The only place I’ve seen them in any number is Florence. I found them strangely compelling . . .

Tourists use them a lot in and around Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. It’s not unusual to see 20 or so people following a tour guide, and of course, you see them no where else in the city.

I have seen mall cops on Segways in Atlanta, and in Louisville, KY.

@Pacopuddy
They were quite popular in my city several years ago but then people stopped using them. There was one residential area I hated to walk in because of teenagers zipping around and not moving out of the way for pedestrians.

Jimi Heselden in 2010 – he was not the inventor (Dean Kamen is), but had purchased the company recently before the accident (he drove off a cliff at his estate home). Check out Wikipedia for “Inventors killed by their own inventions”.

No it’s not true. Dean Kamen, who invented the Segway its still very much alive. The man who died was Jimi Heselden, who purchased Segway, Inc in 2010.

Walt Disney World offers two Segway tours: one at Epcot and the other on the back trails of the Fort Wilderness Campground. Both have a one hour training class followed by a one hour tour in either location. Disney in general does not allow personal Segways on property, but that is being challenged in court again.
