Bucky Katt's Big Book Of Fun : A Get Fuzzy Treasury (Get Fuzzy) - Book Review,
by Darby Conley

From Publishers Weekly Voted the Best Comic Strip of 2002 by the National Cartoonists Society, Conleys Get Fuzzy friends are no Garfield and Odie. Wacky, hilarious and charming, this second compilation of Conleys characters (following on the heels of Sept. 2002s Groovitude: A Get Fuzzy Treasury) touches on the intricacies of inter-species affairs in a New York City apartment. Human Rob Wilco, impudent feline Bucky Katt and soft-hearted mutt (but dont call him that to his face) Satchel Pooch form a lovable trio whose differing personalities make for great comedy. Whether the storyline features Satchels sweet innocence and ignorance of the world around him, Buckys schemes and wise-ass, sarcastic remarks, or Robs (or Pinky, as Bucky likes to call him) flip acceptance of his pets polar opposite personalities, Conleys comic strip strikes home with its candid, funny and heart-warming portrayal of three very different dispositions co-existing under one roof.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
