Get Fuzzy makes the fur fly. This freshly amusing strip is a darling among readers who enjoy pets with an attitude. This wry cartoon features Rob Wilco, a mild-mannered ad guy who's guardian to two rambunctious pets: Bucky, a temperamental cat who carries a boom box and goes on spending sprees, and Satchel, a gentle canine who tries to remain neutral even when he bears the brunt of Bucky's mischief. Together, this unlikely trio hangs out together, watching TV, cooking for friends, and attempting the occasional adventure outside. Anyone who has a pet or even knows one will find this Get Fuzzy collection, The Dog is Not a Toy, an astutely witty take on relationships between the species.

Rated 5 starsDon't buy this if you already have "Groovitude"
The strips in "The Dog Is Not a Toy" are great but they and the strips in "Get Fuzzy 2, Fuzzy Logic" are both included in the "Groovitude" anthology. So don't buy this one if you already have "Groovitude."

You really feel for their "guy" Rob. Deep down inside you can see that...

Rated 5 starsGet Fuzzy, dog-cat cartoons by Darby Conley
These hilarious cartoons will bring a wry smile to anyone who has owned a cat or dog, better still both! Satchel is a podgy, easy going character, a little naive and slow on the uptake; while the cat is warped and probably related to Lucretia Borgia.
