Summary: Darby Conley has deep knowledge of pets
Review: "Get Fuzzy" is currently my favorite comic strip. There are
so many of these strips that are just perfect little moments,
usually uproariously hilarious ones, in the life of Rob and
his fuzzy friends. I highly recommend this strip, and this
book.

Summary: This is the FUNNIEST book I have ever read...
Review: The comics in this book are the most hilarious things I have ever read. The characters are great- Bucky is the epitome of the domestic cat (at least in my house...). I highly recommend this- all of my friends love it, and I'm sure that many, many others will too! From Bucky calling a TV program "really belgium" to Satchel asking Rob if he's pregnant when he buys Bucky a car seat, the humour is some of the best in a book that I have seen. Another book needs to be made!

Summary: Too funny.
Review: "Get Fuzzy" is too funny. It's completely kooky, but in varying ways for different people. Everyone I know who reads the strip or the book likes different things about the characters and their actions... I can't wait until the next book comes out!

Summary: Best Pet Comic Book
Review: This is the funniest book I have ever read. I keep reading it over and over, and it still makes me laugh out loud. The mix of characters is excellent, with the self-centered, prima-donna, cat, Bucky; the not-too-bright, but exceedingly helpful dog, Satchel; and the frustrated human, Rob. Much better than Dilbert, it's the new, modern Garfield!

Summary: Bringing comedy back to comics
Review: With the retiring of the Far side, Calvin and Hobbes, and the passing of Charles Schultz I had seen a definite downslide in the quality of our comic strips. Thank goodness for emergence of Get Fuzzy. This strip has me rushing to get to the comics section again. This collection of strips is edgy and hilarious. Certainly, Bucky the cat is the best character in comics today. Anyone who says that his behaviour is not realistic has never owned a siamese. Of course real dogs don't wear watches and cats don't trim meat with a belt-sander, but real dogs don't fantasize about being a WWI pilot. If you enjoy reading the strips in the daily comics then I highly recommend getting this book. My only complaint is the lack of color.

Summary: You must try!!!!!!
Review: This comic strip is the best EVER! I am in tears many days and laughing/chuckling out loud everyday (reading the daily strip online is like coffee to me...a must!) I must say I have never been interested in comics, but I am a fanatic about this one! Bucky and Satchel are hilarious! I am ready for all the Get Fuzzy merchandise I can find. Like I said, a fanatic.

Summary: A clever and hillarious insight into our pet's minds
Review: This comic strip is the best that has come along in years. The main pet character Bucky is a demonic cat, and anyone who has had cats as pets can relate to his behavior. Very addicting read - I check the latest strip online every day.

Summary: One of the best comics EVER
Review: "Get Fuzzy" is one of the best comics to come along in years. Ranking up there with "Calvin & Hobbes" and "Peanuts". The humor is fresh and funny throughout the strip, not just at the punchline. It breathes new life into the premise of pets/owner relationships, thusly putting the stale, repetitive humor of "Garfield" to shame (didn't he pretty much sleep all Summer?). And the artwork is fantastic. The characters look awesome and Conely's attention to detail is extremely precise and hilarious. It's fun to be able to re-read the same comic and notice things not seen the first time around ("Shoe Brand" shirts, "Snott's Tissues", "Howdy Meals" at "McDoodles", etc...). I've seen other artists do this with extreme distraction from the rest of the comic, but in "Get Fuzzy" it's done subtley enough that it actually enhances the overall quality of the work. For the first time in a while a comic is actually written well AND fun to look at. Not since "Calvin & Hobbes" and "The Far Side" were in the papers have I been able to laugh at a comic this often. If I could give this book 6 stars, I would. I usually don't buy the 'smaller' books with B&W Sundays, I wait until the Treasury/Colored ones come out to save money. But this strip is so good I couldn't wait for that and am eagerly awaiting book #2.

Summary: Get funny with Rob, Satchel, and Bucky
Review: This book rocks! If you have an offbeat sense of humor, pets of your own, or can simply recognize comic genius when you see it, Get Fuzzy is for you. Follow the side-splittingly hilarious antics of Darby Conley's well-developed characters, and you will soon find yourself rolling on the floor with laughter. Each of the species in this strip (cat, dog, and human) has a distinct personality apart from the others. Get Fuzzy is the single best comic strip currently being published in the United States!

Summary: An intellectual's Garfield and Odie
Review: "Get Fuzzy" fills that dreadful void left by the departure of "Bloom County" and "Calvin & Hobbes". Darby Conley imagines a world with a scheming, plotting cat and a hapless, neurotic dog. Overseeing the menagerie is Rob, an adman who combines milder versions of the first two archetypal characters. It is a delight. It is full of wonderful scenarios and huge belly laughs. My wife and I have adopted nomenclature from the strip and say things like, "That was a Bucky remark." or "I did a Satchel today." A most enjoyable read that doesn't talk down to or pander to its readers. An intellectual's Garfield and Odie.
