Get Fuzzy

By Darby Conley

House cats 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 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 Katt

Like most cats, Bucky is ill-tempered, selfish, and prone to curious fixations. Unlike most cats, he can talk and spends much of his time devising ways to increase his power over his owner and the world at large. Wait, that second part is like most cats too.
