Summary: The cover says it all...
Review: I think that I can explain the Vietnam reference. There is a fraternity at Texas A+M University that has created a bootleged version of Get Fuzzy. The drawings are very accurate to Conley's. The irony is that the bootleged version is way more funny than the actual Get Fuzzy. The reason behind the bootleg is that the boys of that fraternity could not stand the "cuteness" of Get Fuzzy, you know how it has a tendency to be so, "Oh how cute"? These frat boys felt that taking doses of Get Fuzzy is the same as having too much sugar. So one night on a drunken binge the bootleg Get Fuzzy was born. In my opinion the bootlegged version is way more funny, or even funny to begin with. So if you have a chance to read the bootleg read it, it is actually funny.

Summary: Bucky strikes again!
Review: I've been reading this strip for at least a year now, so it's fun to see what I've missed. Bucky is definitely the star--the Cat From Hell. Watching him fight with the ferret next door, whining about his poor bear Smacky getting lost (then refusing to thank Satchel for finding him), proudly proclaiming himself to be black AND white--he is definitely one nasty dude. No wonder Rob, when hearing about the cloning of cats, develops a tic in his eye! I, however, was too busy laughing to have such a reaction. I loved it. I am also glad my cat is nothing like Bucky.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Are you Get Fuzzsperienced?
Review: 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!

Summary: Bad Experience.
Review: In this new adventure of our three pals we see them stuck in the rice patties of Vietnam. Charlie has the drop on them and they try and get their way out. Satchel calls for help on the radio, Bucky goes nuts on his "50" while Rob tries to calm his boys down. I think Darby is trying to explore a new venue with this book, like trying to create a new "Platoon". Darby is way off on his history of the Vietnam War. An example of this is when he states that Vietnam took place in the 1950's. He should at least research before he writes. Also, the Americans did not fight along side the Germans in the Vietnam War. Usually Get Fuzzy is really bad, this book has made it worse.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nuts to You
Review: 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.

Summary: A refreshingly witty comic for the new generation of readers
Review: 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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Get (even more) Fuzzy. Animals aren't just cute and cuddly.
Review: The newest collection of the Get Fuzzy comic strip by Darby Conley. This is a strip that stays away from the cute and cuddly nature of animal comics and goes right to the truth.

Get Fuzzy centers around a household containing one bachelor, a cat and a dog. But this cat and dog are not like any others found in comic strips. If animals could really talk, one would expect them to utter lines like those found in this book.

Darby manages to capture the true essence of being a pet owner that hasn't been so well since the appearance of John Arbuncle (Garfield's owner). Using a dry wit and a sharp eye for reality, Darby spins tales that hit home for any pet owner.

If you have read the other collections or the daily strip, you need this one. If you have never read the strip before but are, or know, a pet owner, then you need this one too.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Great art, good set-ups, WEAK punchlines.
Review: The payoff on these strips is really hollow. Conley thinks up these elaborate plot lines and then can;t deliver a gag. The art is great though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bucky is a cat not to be trifled with
Review: 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.
