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.

True they aren’t , but, curiously, George studys the classics.

Contrary to what you might see in the movies, chimps aren’t sweet, harmless little creatures.
If Planet of the Apes had been accurate, the chimps would have been the soldiers, and the gorillas the pacifists!
Not sure what the orangutans would have been…

I remember what fun we had with this one when it first ran, and all the hilarious conjecture until someone informed us that “choking you rear nakedly” referred to the name of a wrestling hold. This is classic!

I know Rob is crazy enough to think his animals talk to him and he talks to them, but I thought he was too smart to watch wrestling. They say the difference between insanity and genius is a fine line, but I guess the line between insanity and stupidity may be a mile wide. Or is it just Bucky who watches wrestling? If so that could explain SOOOOOooooo much.

Daughter likes watching Curious George on PBS. And they always say, “George is a monkey…” to which I scream inside, “Yeah? Then WHERE’S HIS TAIL???”

@TheTrustedMechanic
Who says Rob just “thinks” his animals talk to him?There are story lines involving one or two of Rob’s human friends or his father, and they can all converse with Bucky and Satchel.

@Arianne You know sometimes certain words, strung together, put certain images in ones head. So I must say thank you for the explaination. That expression had me stumped.
