Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun: A Get Fuzzy Treasury

This treasury is a good place to pick up the second era of Get Fuzzy strips, collected in The Get Fuzzy Experience and Blueprint for Disaster, again with the Sunday comics in full color, which makes it the better choice than buying both of those books independently. If you're new to Get Fuzzy, you probably ought to start with Groovitude, the first treasury collection, but this is more of the same hilarity, and it's bound to please all the old fans and maybe attract a few new ones. Get Fuzzy rules.

I have loved 'Get Fuzzy' from the first time I saw it. This is a compilation of some of Darby Conley's best strips; they are a joy to read and bring laughter into a frazzled day. The interaction of Rob, Satchel, and Bucky is a national treasure. I particularly appreciate the tone of the strip in addressing social ills without being preachy, while still honoring the good things in America. Particularly noteworthy is the honor Mr. Conley bestows on the NYPD, EMS, and fire fighters throughout his strips, particularly post-9/11. I also appreciate his sensitivity in honoring the passing of truly significant people such as Douglas Adams (the '42' strip is wonderful), and Fred Rogers. This is one of the most entertaining books on my bookshelf, and I treasure it. I could not recommend a book of comic strips more highly. Buy it: it'll make your day!

I wish I'd known in advance that this is a compilation of the last two compilation books--The Get Fuzzy Experience and Blueprint for Disaster, both of which I already own! That being said, if you haven't read these already, they are hilarious, as all of the Get Fuzzy books are.

This book is a combination of Blue Print for Disaster and the THe Fuzzy Experience. More than 500 comic strips. Is still an interesting read.
