Summary: Infectious Giggles for Pet Owners
Comment: "Get Fuzzy" chronicles the day to day life of Rob and his "friends" (pets) Bucky, the psychotic (is there any other kind?) cat and his hapless, loveable shar-pei Satchel. This comic is the most precise, dead on accurate portrayals of pet life ever written. Artistically, "Get Fuzzy" is one of the most detailed comics out there (artists and other funky people will love Conley's attention to detail - like lamps that are plugged in, slogans on shirts) and really well drawn (check out Bucky's little belly and alarmingly astute facial expressions). Sometimes he doesn't even need words and you will be rolling on the floor laughing. But he uses words well, too. My favorite aspect of the comic is that the character development is extremely advanced. Satchel, Rob and Bucky (and even Rob's dad and my favorite character, Joe Doman)have distinct, hysterically funny and spot-on personalities. Almost every strip of "Get Fuzzy" gets a laugh ... but funny though it is, it is also poignant. Satchel, an innocent in a mad, mad world, offers moments of "Oh, Satchel!" when you remember that pets aren't just for entertainment, they're part of a symbiotic relationship - we need them, and they need us. In short, I LOVE GET FUZZY. I am the proud owner of a Satchel and a female-Bucky (I know, you pity me yet you are strangely drawn to my world) and I discovered "Get Fuzzy" last year. Any pet owner should read this comic - not only are you not alone, you are in great company!

Summary: Best Comic Strip in a Long Time--In a Great Collection
Comment: In a sea of boringly-drawn comic strips that draw on stereotypes for weak little chuckles, "Get Fuzzy" is hilariously refreshing...and dare I say a little heartwarming (hmm) at the same time. First off, the drawings look great, I love them in all their detail...it makes it fun to look at and read. That's what a comic strip SHOULD do! Second, you've got your characters--it's a cat-dog-guy set up but each of them, believe it or not--has a dimension rarely seen in the funnies. They're recognizable but believable...well, if you can believe in talking animals, but you know what I mean. It never feels contrived or painfully of the mark in its humor. The point is, you love the dog, you love to hate the cat, and you...like or love or at least sometimes identify with the guy.
This book in particular highlights some of the best of the earlier stuff. It's fun, ironic, sarcastic, dorky, hilarious, and at times...sweet. Seems everyone likes this comic, from those animal people we all know to petless people like me. It's especially amusing if you're from around Boston for the occasional reference that you can proudly recognize. If you don't have this comic in your paper, pick up this book as an intro to the best strip out there. If you do (I do), pick it up anyway for hours of amusement after you've finished your funnies. By the way, comic strip books always make great gifts--I got it as a a very thoughtful present...and hilarious.

Summary: Funniest comic strip today!
Comment: Get Fuzzy is simply the best comic strip around. The trio of Bucky Katt, Rob, and Satchel creates some of the most engaging humor in today's newspapers. When I first read the strip when Bucky destroys the Tickle-Me-Elmo doll that was laughing at him, I was hooked. I'm not a cat person, but as was said in a recent Pearls Before Swine: Bucky Katt Rocks!
