Rating: 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.
Rating: Summary: For a bank loan. Review: This book of "Get Fuzzy" seems rather odd. When did we ever see the main characters end up in Vietnam? What we see are snippets of the cat as he goes through boot camp. His drill sergeant has a bad temper and is not affraid to take his aggressions out on poor old Bucky. After boot camp Bucky is reunited with his two other friends. This is where the author takes a tragic turn with the storyline. He tries to be funny in a Beatle Baily sort of way,but falls short. As a college student at Texas A and M I usually demand more from my cartoons, whether they be a political cartoon or not. Who are the people responsible for publishing this nonsense?
Rating: Summary: Get Fuzzy Rules Review: This book was wonderful. Get Fuzzy is fast becoming one of the best comics out there and my personal favorite (besides Garfield) Get Fuzzy and Garfield do have quite a bit in common-a single guy living with a less than bright dog and a cat who rules the house. But that is where the similarity ends. Garfield is cute and great for children and adults alike while Get Fuzzy is sarcastically funny and better suited for adults. Darby Conley continues to come up with fresh ideas and I found myself laughing out loud when I read this latest book. Bucky's facial expressions are hilarious and the one drawing of Bucky as a kitten was worth the price of the whole book.
Rating: Summary: you must experience it... Review: This is a great strip. You have the loveable Satchel, the edgy Bucky--who is hilarious and the heart of the strip--, and the straight man, Rob. Bless him for all he has to put up with. This is a good collection of a great strip. With the loss of The Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes, this is all that is left--worth reading anyway.
Rating: Summary: GET BUCKSPERIENCED Review: With 2 collections and a treasury under his belt, Darby Conley moves on with the lives of Rob, Bucky, and Satchel as they deal with 9/11, catnip, baseball rivalries (Rob - the Red Sox, Bucky - the Yankees, Satchel - the Cubs), tuna, Jackass, dog support groups, and ferrets (beware of Fungo Squiggly!!!). It was a rare treat to see Bucky and Satchel share at least one moment in a strip (even if it was only with whipped cream). An excellent follow-up to Fuzzy Logic. I especially liked the Hendrix album parody on the cover (even though Satchel, as Noel Redding, should be wearing the granny glasses instead of Rob, as Mitch Mitchell). Have you ever benn bucksperienced? Well, I have.
Rating: Summary: Texas A+M Review: Yes, I recieved a copy of the new Get Fuzzy, but then I try to stay on top of pop culture. I am a journalist major here at A+M, so I try to study all types of media in the newspaper. One thing I have not been able to comprehend is this copy of Get Fuzzy. Normally we see the characters just hanging out in their apartment, not much for a plot with just that, but that is all there is. This new book has put us in the killing fields of Vietnam. Is Conley trying to protest the war in Iraq? That is fine to protest the war, not very original, but his right nonetheless. My feeling is that if he wants to protest he should at least get his facts correct on Vietnam. Number one, it is not on the Australian Continent and number two they did not have cloaking devices like in Star Trek. If we wanted to see a protest novel we could have read "War and Peace".
