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.

I think the solar-powered flashlight has been done … (You charge it up in the day and use it when it’s dark … that’s what the re-chargeable batteries are for !!).

Hate to burst your bubble, Rob, but toilet roll pencil holders do exist. I know, because I made one in second grade. Well, did exist, at the very least.

Is Darby on vacation? I swear I’ve read that punch line in Get Fuzzy before.

I gave a toilet paper roll pencil holder to my mom for Mother’s Day once.
She threw it away and said I could do better.
That didn’t bother me much. I was used to her put-downs for the past 48 years.

“For all you know I already had that one written down,” says the obnoxious kitty as he scribbles on his clipboard. Real believable there Bucky.
