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.

That’s what you call a “Bacronym”.
Taking an existing word, and making an Acronym out of it.
Kind of like Wile E. Coyote’s favorite company,

Yeah, they’re in league with KISS and the C.H.U.D.s!

OOhhh! That evil PBS, they must be stopped. I guess I see now why Congress must remove all funding from early childhood education and non-partisan news and entertainment sources. It was a governmental conspiracy from the start, to brainwash us into singing the ABC song. You know the one, “a B C D E F G….now I’ve sang my ABCs, won’t come and play with me?” Or some slight variant thereof. God forbid our children learn anything…(rant removed for posterity)

Nonpartisan news? You don’t think they (like everyone else) presents only the news that advances their agenda and slant? I listen to PBS radio sometimes. Certainly they’re biased. That’s fine, but I would just as soon not have to support it. Just as others would not wish to support Fox News.

Love the strip but I wish the artist would do more new ones. Reruns may be nice but I want fresh stuff. Of course what’s interesting is the old stuff is still funny……
