Loserpalooza: A Get Fuzzy Treasury (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Loserpalooza is Darby Conley's latest look at the interspecies antics of his wildly popular characters Bucky, Satchel, and Rob. At the center of this not-so-warm-and-fuzzy arrangement is Rob Wilco, a single, mild-mannered ad exec. Bucky is Rob's temperamental, buck-toothed Siamese cat with a penchant for mischief, a hatred of ferrets, and a love of rubber bands. Satchel is a sweet but naive shar-pei-yellow-Lab mix who haplessly ends up on the receiving end of Bucky's wayward schemes. An entertaining critique on popular culture and a bona fide hit, Get Fuzzy was named Best Comic Strip of the year in 2002 by the National Cartoonists Society and now appears in more than 400 newspapers worldwide.

About the Author

Darby Conley first sketched the characters Bucky, Satchel, and Rob in 1996, and the strip has been syndicated since 1999. He currently lives in Massachusetts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Get Fuzzy Reading Guide - collections vs. treasuries, August 11, 2007

By	WarriorPrncess - See all my reviews

I won't go into how fantastic this comic strip is, but it is easily my favorite comic strip of all time. :)

For the uninitiated, there are eight collections so far and three treasuries. The fourth treasury is not yet released.

Please keep in mind that each treasury is two collections put together, so as far as I know the treasuries are the same as two of the collections, except I believe the treasuries have the Sunday comics in color while the collections have them in black and white.

In chronological order, the collections are:

1. The Dog is Not a Toy: House Rule #4
2. Fuzzy Logic: Get Fuzzy 2
3. The Get Fuzzy Experience
4. Blueprint for Disaster
5. Say Cheesy: A Get Fuzzy Collection 5
6. Scrum Bums
7. I'm Ready for My Movie Contract: A Get Fuzzy Collection
8. Take Our Cat, Please: A Get Fuzzy Collection

The treasuries are:

1. Groovitude (encompassing collections 1 and 2).
2. Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun (encompassing collections 3 and 4).
3. Loserpalooza (encompassing collections 5 and 6).
4. The Potpourrific Great Big Grab Bag of Get Fuzzy (encompassing collections 7 and 8). (not yet released - release date is currently 9/1/08)

These comics are beyond hilarious, and I would highly recommend them to pet lovers/haters of all ages. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh-out-loud funny, May 6, 2007

By	Preacher Lady "Trin" (Storyteller Town) - See all my reviews

If you have (or have ever had) a dog or a cat, you will absolutely love Get Fuzzy. Rob, the main human character, works in advertising and spends most of his free time with his . . . well, his roommates, who just happen to be a dog and a cat. Satchel is a big, sweet, rather stupid dog with a heart of gold; Bucky is a nasty, cynical, mean cat with a tongue of steel. And Rob . . . well, he's usually the straight man. Like Satan in Milton's Paradise Lost, the villain here -- Bucky -- is the most interesting of the characters; his evil nature makes him more vivid. But he's loveable, I suppose, because he's not completely evil. In the midst of a scheme to exploit Satchel somehow, he will sneak into Rob's bedroom at night and cuddle. Of course, when the scheme is discovered he's haughty and unapologetic; when the cuddling is discovered, he's horrified that his softer side may be showing. That's Bucky, and he's sort of the essence of kittyness, just as Satch is a dog's dog. Again, if you've ever shared your home with a dog or cat, you'll be falling out of your chair laughing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Laugh out loud..., July 16, 2007

By	Clayton Zepeda (Fayetteville, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this collection to be laugh out loud hilarious. I'm not one to do that too often. My only negative comment is that this collection is compiled of Scrum Bums and Say Cheesy. Both of which I have purchased through amazon a few months ago. They neglected to mention that in the product description. So yes it is a great buy, if you dont already own them.
