Fuzzy Logic: Get Fuzzy 2 Volume 2

The strips in "Get Fuzzy 2, Fuzzy Logic" are great but they and the strips in "The Dog Is Not a Toy" are both included in the "Groovitude" anthology. So don't buy this one if you already have "Groovitude."

Berke Breathed and Bill Watterson may not be around anymore, but not to worry, we have Darby Conley. If you're into dogs, cats, rugby, Harry Potter, or puns and wordplay, this book is for you. Even the Introduction is worth the price alone. Conley is a breath of fresh air on the comic strip scene, and the only artist/writer around who makes me laugh out loud at his strips. If you're unfortunate enough to live in a city which does not carry the daily antics of Satchel and Bucky in its paper, all the more reason to get this and see what you're missing.

This book is hysterical! "Get Fuzzy" is the best comic strip to come along since "Calvin and Hobbes". Anyone who has a cat with personality can appreciate Bucky Katt's sassy attitude, which is complemented by Satchel the dog's sweet and naive demeanor. These two pets and their owner Rob are wonderfully endearing. Darby Conley's writing is never stale and is guaranteed to make you laugh. His second book is just as wonderful as his first.

Get Fuzzy is the best strip alive today and may well be one of the top five strips of all time. It is original, quirky, and sometimes laugh out loud funny. The beauty of it is, the content appeals to both pet owners and non-pet owners alike. After devouring Get Fuzzy in the paper for months (often completely ignoring all other strips), I happened to pick up The Dog is Not a Toy, Mr. Conley's first collection. It was tremendously entertaining and the sort of work I continue to pick up and peruse months later. Since then, I have been anxiously been awaiting his second effort. It surpasses the first in charm, humor, and the artists understated and often wry social and political satire. Mr. Conley possesses a truly fresh voice, talented and hand, and keen insight and I hope he continues to produce such engaging works well into the future.

My paper started running Get Fuzzy about a year ago and now every day I look forward to reading it more that any other comic. Ever. To not laugh at Bucky Katt is impossible. This is the quintessential portrait of a cat. It's not that he doesn't care about the others in his life. He's just completely self-absorbed. Satchel is his perfect foil. A dog who is totally loyal and caring. Almost to a fault. And then there's Rob, the referee. I really don't know how to write a proper review for the strip. Do yourself a favor and check it out for yourself.
