Darby Conley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2, 2003

When he was a child, Darby Conley used to wonder what his beloved pooch was thinking. That curiosity led to his creation of the hilarious strip Get Fuzzy in 1999, which has rapidly become one of the most popular cartoons in newspaper syndication. Showcasing the relationship between Bucky, a temperamental cat with an attitude; the sweet and sensitive dog Satchel; and their mild-mannered human companion, Rob Wilco, Get Fuzzy has cornered the market on anthropomorphic antics.Anyone who finds animals both amazing and amusing will find this new Get Fuzzy collection one of the most bitingly funny books ever printed.

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nuts to You, April 11, 2003

By 

Lottie (New England USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Get Fuzzy Experience: Are You Bucksexperienced (Paperback)

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.
Its a great book.
Pick it up.

If you havent bee introduced to Bucky, Satchel and Rob, yet, go pick up Groovitude, as well.

Tuna out.

4.0 out of 5 stars A refreshingly witty comic for the new generation of readers, August 10, 2004

The first time I read a Get Fuzzy strip by Darby Conley on Comics.com, I was surprised by the intelligence of many of the jokes. A child can't always read the comic and get the jokes because they wouldn't know what art work, book,etc. they may be referring to. The humor can at times be a little dry, but more frequently than in other strips are jokes that make me laugh so hard I have tears come to my eyes. The incredibly stupid and foolhardy Bucky Katz brings attitude to the strip while Satchel brings a humorous naivitae and yet at times superior intelligence to Bucky. Rob is more of a background character like Jon Arbuckle is in the Garfield strips. The Get Fuzzy Experience holds up to Conley's usual standards and is more relevant to the modern audience than most other comics you may read in the paper.
