Have I mentioned anytime recently that Get Fuzzy rocks? It’s the comic I get in my inbox every day (I was getting Dilbert too but it stopped showing up, prolly a change in web site thing).
It’s about three characters primarily. Rob, the owner of the cat and dog, Satchel (named for the famous Negro League pitcher) and Bucky, named for, what else, his tooth! Satchel is the gullible loving “man’s best friend” kind of dog, where Bucky is the smart-mouthed pain in the butt cat who always has something to say.
See some Garfield referneces here? You should, the format is like a modern-day Garfield in a lot of ways with some twists, more in your face stuff, plenty of sports references (Rob, and the real life writer Darby Conley are huge Red Sox fans!), and a lot of general chaos which makes it go.
Good reading, well worth the time to check it out! Let me know if it’s in any local papers, I know it’s big enough that it gets its own calendars, I’m happy to say I just bought the 2005 day-to-day Get Fuzzy .. for $4!
