Darby Conley is so talented that it's really hard to imagine a world without talking pets. Satchel, the Canadian-born Lab-Sharpei mix is so mixed up that anything that Bucky doesn't hit him with point-blank just goes completely over his head. Rob is the poor sap who's stuck with these two complete idiots as pets/room mates. If he's not cleaning up choked-up hairballs mixed with rubberbands, he's taking Satchel to the vet to patch up wounds received from Bucky, who is the most vile; evil pet anyone could own, yet he could litter - aly be the cat next door, or in the box with the sign reading "Free Kittens". Why Bucky hasn't been left on the side of the road yet is beyond me, but had he been, Get Fuzzy wouldn't be as funny.
I seen this comic in the paper a couple of times and never really got into it. Decided to give the book a try and was extremely impressed. The illistrations are great and coupled with the humor work perfectly together. It's a comic for the 21st century. No worn out punch lines, no predictiable message. I would strongly suggest this book to anyone who loves comics and loves to laugh.
