Since I now know that there are other comic strip fans out there, I'm hoping that someone here reads one of my all-time favorite strips - "Get Fuzzy." I'd love to have someone to talk to about it.

Here's a bit about the strip:

quote:

---

Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley, 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 Bucky and Satchel, anthropomorphic scamps that still live by their animal instincts. Bucky is a temperamental cat (is there any other kind?) who clearly wears the pants in this eccentric household. Satchel is a gentle pooch with a sensitive soul 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.

and, a link to the strip: Get Fuzzy - THE STRIP!

It's quite often funny - I'm always laughing at Bucky and Sachel (and, poor Rob!). But, I have to admit that his September 11 reference strips actually touched me.

I've only been reading it infrequently for the last couple of months (whenever I happen to pick up the Toronto Star from school cuz it's free!). The Kingston Whig-Standard didn't carry it, so I'd never heard of it before.

But now that I know the site, I'll probably keep up with it.

YEA! Someone to talk about it with!

My work computer cursor is Bucky. My home one is Sachel.

I just read the last month. Heheh! I can't tell which character I like best... it seems to depend on the strip.

I REALLY liked when they went watch-shopping and Bucky was in that baby carrier thingy with just the tips of his paws poking out. ROTFL!

LOL! He's in a baby carrier when Rob carries him. And, a carseat when they are in the car. Oh, and he has a booster chair when they eat out. (Shhhhh...but don't say that too loudly....Rob and Satchel have to call it a throne in order for Bucky to not take offense.)

You HAVE to get the book! It's great! And, it has a great account of when Bucky put hair remover in Rob's shampoo bottle. Took FOREVER for Rob's hair to grow out!

"It's not what it looks like!!!"

Have you read today's strip (12/11)? "Famous Cat Quotes - 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Leave Me Alone'" I love it!

LadyC (and any other Get Fuzzy fans), have you been reading this week's offerings? You've just got to adore Bucky!

Sure have!

Stay tuned! There's more Bucky tv coming right up!

Bringing this up, because there've been some really funny ones the past couple of weeks. Has anyone else been looking at them?!

Oh i love Bucky. I've been trying to find out if they have a stuffed Bucky to purchase, but alas no luck. For Christmas I received a "Get Fuzzy" book and have been enjoying that.

Oh, wouldn't that be great?! I've love a stuffed Bucky, too!

Today's "Buckyism" would make an interesting signature line!

"I disagree with what you say and I will deny, to your death, your right to say it."

By the by, Bucky's a Siamese cat.

I also think Conley's signature "darb" in a little box is pretty cool!
