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.

It’s not Darby who has it wrong. It is Bucky. Bucky who lives in a delusional world of his own invention. Ah, to have such a fertile mind. He could create a fictional world, write a book and make a lot of money. Many authors have done so.

Of course, the author usually knows the difference…

Most of Bucky’s rocks are between his ears…

Was that the one with ‘Cohen the Barbarian?’ I’ve read so many, it’s hard to keep them straight.

Please people, it’s a family cartoon. Please keep political commentary to the editorial cartoons unless the family cartoon specifically invokes politics, which Get Fuzzy nearly never does. I agree with your sentiment but still, please keep partisan rhetoric out of the family section.
