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 450 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 five 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 and Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun, plus Get Fuzzy wall and box calendars.
Conley is an illustrator who grew up with Richard Scarry, Peanuts, and Tintin books, and always wanted to be a cartoonist. Born in Massachusetts, he spent most of his childhood in Tennessee. He earned a Fine Arts degree at Amherst College, and went on to become an elementary school teacher and the art director for a museum before launching Get Fuzzy in 1999.
