The Get Fuzzy Experience

Darby Conely's characters and their interactions are a work of comedy genius. It is impossible for me to read "Get Fuzzy" without howling with laughter. Bucky Cat is a lunatic. Although we have a general idea that he is a semi-violent egomaniac with a twisted perspective, his actions and passions are absolutely unpredictable. One can't help but love and feel for Satchel the Dog. He's sweet and loveable and not very bright. Rob the human is caught in the middle of the interplay between these two. I gave a copy of this and another of Darby Conley's "Get Fuzzy" collections to my mother when she was recovering from an operation to remove a cancerous tumor from her lung. She loved it; and it raised her spirit so much that it eased her recovery. Laughter is indeed the best medicine!

This book continues the adventures of Satchel and Bucky and their "owner," Rob Wilco. This book begins the epic battle between Bucky Katt and Fungo Squiggly, the next-door ferret. Darby Conley is amazingly creative with coming up with new ways for the "pets" to mess with Rob's life or fight each other or just hang out at the house.This set of strips covers the period around Sept. 11, which Conley handles very well and even manages to get a few giggles in as Rob goes to the Red Cross to donate blood. That's not easy to do.

If you haven't read this book your missing out! Both bucky and satchel put a perspective on the world that you could only laugh about! Bucky gives a whole new meaning to attitude and satchel is the king of reality with a twist! With bucky's inquisitive and young mind it kept me wanting more! I couldn't wait till this book came out just like I can't wait for the next! Happy reading!

I really love this comic book series! It's all about a normal young bachelor type guy putting up with his pets. These two pets are as different as day and night. Satchel is the sort of slow but lovable dog, who is constantly being tormented by Bucky the Cat. Bucky is probably one of the most hard to deal with cats you can have. Plus, he talks. He asks to be called by the nickname Shirley, but also isn't too smart. (Got a 1 on an IQ test) I think that this is definitely a great comic to read, and to get it if you like that sort of thing!

It's good to see and read Mr. Conley remains just as amusing as he was in the first two books. I stumbled onto "Get Fuzzy" in calendar form, and am ecstatic I can catch up with these books. I read this last night, it is the rare Laugh Out Loud read. There were a few tears, as I believe this collection contains strips from September 11, 2001 and thereafter. However (either because Mr. Conley did so when originally writing the strip so as not to be morose, or the editors did so when compiling the book), there is levity in between. The books keeps you laughing.It?s a great book. Pick it up. If you haven?t bee introduced to Bucky, Satchel and Rob, yet, go pick up ?Groovitude,? as well. Tuna out.
