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.

Bucky is going to get his kibble back. One piece at a time.

The local vet has one of those that supposedly repels bugs and fleas. It sits there with this little flashing light, and that’s about it. She told me, “It’s such a high frequency humans can’t hear it.” And yet the animals in the office didn’t show any interest. I think they sold her a plastic box with a little flashing light.

It’s obviously NOT Fungo in the hole, because if it was he would have just come out and bashed Bucky in the head with his “Go-Dent” machine!
PAP!

That filthy rodent will pay for his underhanded attack on The Buckster.

After all the Get Fuzzy re-runs this story arc is refreshing.

The rat clearly hasn’t heard of it yet.

If you’re the type of human who can hear high-frequency sounds like rat beepers, it’s absolute torture to be anywhere near them. When I was younger, I could hear them as well as the high-frequency messaging systems that some retail stores used. Whenever my mother dragged me to her favorite store for a day of shopping, I’d end up with a splitting headache from the constant beepbeepbeeping that only I could hear, and she’d compound it by nagging me about how uncooperative I was.
Even when my hearing was checked and they found out that I couldn’t hear low noises but could hear high noises way beyond the norm, she still refused to believe that I was in actual pain at her favorite store. And Macy’s was right across the street.

Since Heinrich Hertz, who the word hertz named for, lived long before Hertz Rental was around, how can ® be on the
logo? I always thought you couldn’t do that with a common word or phrase.

The rat has quite an arm – maybe it should pitch for the Mets – would fit right in with the rest of the team.
