Bucky, Satchel, and Rob are back for more madness and mayhem. And the world couldn't be happier! Darby Conley's previous titles include two New York Times best-sellers. Bucky Katt is a rather obstinate Siamese who constantly battles his "owner" Rob for control of their home. Satchel Pooch, the Labrador-Shar-pei mix who's sweet and lovable, makes a nice lackey for Bucky. Bucky knows he's smarter than everyone else; it's just a matter of convincing the rest of the world. Satchel always tries to do the right thing but very often ends up the brunt of Bucky's antics. Rob Wilco is a bachelor trying to regain household domesticity. Together, this seemingly typical threesome gets into some less-than-typical but hilarious situations. There's never a dull moment at the Wilco residence. Get Fuzzy, featured in over 650 newspapers worldwide, is one of the most highly lauded cartoons in the country. The National Cartoonists Society named it Best Comic Strip of 2002. Its sidesplitting humor and hilariously illustrated facial nuances appeal to animal lovers everywhere. Bucky and Satchel's words and expressions are what we all picture our beloved pets saying and doing. No library descriptions found. |

The three main characters themselves are fairly unique personalities in comics: Rob, the human, is perhaps a smarter, more hip version of Jon in "Garfield" (don't worry; that's the only comparison that holds up against that wretched strip). Bucky, the cross-eyed snaggle-toothed misanthropic Siamese, could be compared to Ignatz in "Krazy Kat". Satchel is Everydog, and the most apt comparison that comes to mind is Stan Laurel's persona in the Laurel and Hardy films.
I've never felt this strip got the recognition it deserves. I just wish that Darby Conley would allow Rob some more human interaction, especially of the romantic sort. He had a few dates early in the strip, and then seemed to give up trying to introduce a potential romantic interest to Bucky and Satchel. Not that I blame him. ( )
