The Fuzzy Bunch

Book excerpt: From the award–winning creator of Get Fuzzy, a wry comic strip portrayal of single life with pets, featuring the funny dog and cat duo, Bucky and Satchel. 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. 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 in 2002, naming it the Best Newspaper Comic Strip of the Year
