Summary: A Good Laugh
Review: If you like 'Garfield', and 'Dilbert', and 'Far Side' - you'll like this collection of 'Get Fuzzy'. It's smart humor that is one part insanity, and two parts fun. Buy it. Read it. Love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get Fuzzy, dog-cat cartoons by Darby Conley
Review: These hilarious cartoons will bring a wry smile to anyone who has owned a cat or dog, better still both! Satchel is a podgy, easy going character, a little naive and slow on the uptake; while the cat is warped and probably related to Lucretia Borgia. Luckily the cat is primarlily interested in fish otherwise the household would be doomed.

What raises these cartoons above the ordinary is that the cat and dog reflect on human foibles and act like mini humans but with dog and cat desires. When typically human machinations are used to obtain some fish, somehow the absurdity of it all is laid bare.

This all makes it sound rather pretentious, but its not (not so sure about the reviewer though!) They are hilarious!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS
Review: Recently, I began to slowly return to the barren landscape that is today's newspaper comic section. I soon discovered 2 strips that I actually looked forward to reading every day - The Boondocks and Get Fuzzy. After warming up to The Boondocks, I went out and bought every book to catch up on this unique strip. Needless to say, I also did the same thing for Get Fuzzy. The Dog Is Not A Toy (House Rule #4) is an excellent introduction into the lives of Rob Wilco, Bucky Katt, and Satchel Pooch. Finally, the truth about cats and dogs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funniest comic strip today!
Review: Get Fuzzy is simply the best comic strip around. The trio of Bucky Katt, Rob, and Satchel creates some of the most engaging humor in today's newspapers. When I first read the strip when Bucky destroys the Tickle-Me-Elmo doll that was laughing at him, I was hooked. I'm not a cat person, but as was said in a recent Pearls Before Swine: Bucky Katt Rocks!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The reason I get up in the morning.
Review: As a kid, I went straight to the newspaper every morning and read the comics. Like everyone else, The Far Side and Calvin were my favorites, but I also enjoyed Garfield, Beetle Bailey, and the others. As I grew up, the two truly funny comics (The Far Side and Calvin) were retired from the paper and I began to realize that Garfield Beetle Bailey and most of the others were only funny if you had no more than a 4th grade education. There was no innovation or storyline and the artists were just rehashing the same old sight gags and puns every day. I quit reading the comics.

Then came Get Fuzzy in my LA Times, and whoa, life is good again. Get Fuzzy is the freshest, funniest, and most sarcastic comic written in years. I really look forward to reading it in the morning, and (yes, I know I'm a little geeky about this) sometimes I even go online late at night (early in the am) to comics.com and read what happens the next day.

Thank you Darby Conley.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Soon to be a classic
Review: There was Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, and Liberty Meadows. Now you can add Get Fuzzy to that list of great comic strips. Every strip bristles with Darb Conley's wit. To anyone that's ever owned a cat, I'm sure you'll find something in Bucky that you can relate to. This book, and all the other Get Fuzzy books (which I haven't gotten around to buying yet...) get a 5 out of 5 from me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't buy this if you already have "Groovitude"
Review: The strips in "The Dog Is Not a Toy" are great but they and the strips in "Get Fuzzy 2, Fuzzy Logic" are both included in the
"Groovitude" anthology. So don't buy this one if you already have "Groovitude."
