Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Voted the Best Comic Strip of 2002 by the National Cartoonists Society, Conley’s Get Fuzzy friends are no Garfield and Odie. Wacky, hilarious and charming, this second compilation of Conley’s characters (following on the heels of Sept. 2002’s Groovitude: A Get Fuzzy Treasury) touches on the intricacies of inter-species affairs in a New York City apartment. Human Rob Wilco, impudent feline Bucky Katt and soft-hearted mutt (but don’t call him that to his face) Satchel Pooch form a lovable trio whose differing personalities make for great comedy. Whether the storyline features Satchel’s sweet innocence and ignorance of the world around him, Bucky’s schemes and wise-ass, sarcastic remarks, or Rob’s (or Pinky, as Bucky likes to call him) flip acceptance of his pets’ polar opposite personalities, Conley’s comic strip strikes home with its candid, funny and heart-warming portrayal of three very different dispositions co-existing under one roof.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compilation book., May 14, 2004
By A Customer
I wish I'd known in advance that this is a compilation of the last two compilation books--The Get Fuzzy Experience and Blueprint for Disaster, both of which I already own! That being said, if you haven't read these already, they are hilarious, as all of the Get Fuzzy books are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Fuzzy: Simply The Best Strip Currently Running, May 20, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have loved 'Get Fuzzy' from the first time I saw it. This is a compilation of some of Darby Conley's best strips; they are a joy to read and bring laughter into a frazzled day. The interaction of Rob, Satchel, and Bucky is a national treasure.

I particularly appreciate the tone of the strip in addressing social ills without being preachy, while still honoring the good things in America. Particularly noteworthy is the honor Mr. Conley bestows on the NYPD, EMS, and fire fighters throughout his strips, particularly post-9/11. I also appreciate his sensitivity in honoring the passing of truly significant people such as Douglas Adams (the '42' strip is wonderful), and Fred Rogers.

This is one of the most entertaining books on my bookshelf, and I treasure it. I could not recommend a book of comic strips more highly. Buy it: it'll make your day!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily the funniest strip currently in production, May 30, 2005
"Get Fuzzy" is easily the best and funniest strip in production at this time. Darby Conley, the artist, seems to be a cross between author Christopher Moore and cartoonist Berkeley Breathed.

For years I mourned the loss of "Bloom County." Sure, there were other funny cartoons. "The Far Side" was great. So was "Calvin and Hobbes." "Dilbert" does bring out a chuckle now and then. And "Opus" is back, although not nearly as funny as before. There was just something about "Bloom County," with its combination of humans, talking animals and social satire that made it laugh-out-loud humorous almost on a daily basis.

"Get Fuzzy" has now filled much of the void with the stupidity of Satchell's good hearted nature and Bucky's evil quest to be the boss.

"Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun" is probably the best book thus far. I have to ditto another reviewer, however, and warn buyers about Amazon's combining this title with "Blueprint for Disaster." While hardcore readers might want both, buyers should be aware of the fact that much (if not perhaps all, not sure) of the content of "Blueprint" exists within "Big Book of Fun."

My only hope is that Darby Conley will continue to grow and develop "Get Fuzzy." As much as I hate to say it, when you look at the book (instead of reading a daily strip) you can see where he sometimes relies on a redundant technique - such as when Rob or Bucky uses a word that Satchell misinterprets in the last frame and this becomes the punchline. It's funny, but it's not the heart of the "Get Fuzzy."

No matter, "Get Fuzzy" is still hiliarious. If you haven't seen it before you are missing a cartoon strip treasure.
