Get Fuzzy
Get Fuzzy is a daily comic strip written and drawn by Darby Conley. The strip features the day-to-day adventures of advertising executive Rob Wilco and his two anthropomorphic pets: his cat Bucky Katt, and his dog Satchel Pooch. Rob is a sports fan, and named both pets after stars of baseball's Negro Leagues – Buck O'Neil and Satchel Paige; Bucky also has only a single "buck" tooth.
Bucky and Satchel's personalities contrast in an interesting fashion. Bucky is cruel and demented; Satchel is sweet, trusting, and almost childlike. Even after a cyclist ran over his arm, Satchel does not believe in revenge or placing blame. Rob is a little frazzled from dealing with these two, or more specifically dealing with Bucky's destructive nature and overall nastiness. Occasionally, Bucky has expressed his friendship for Satchel in times of Satchel's crises.
In additon to baseball, Rob also follows cricket and ice hockey; he is a science fiction fan and often wears clothing related to his interests, such as a WETA hat or a Quebec Nordiques jersey.
Other characters that show up on occasion are:
- Joe Doman (Rob's friend)
- Rob's dad Francis
- Fungo Squiggly - a neighboring ferret whom Bucky completely dislikes
- Various anthropomorphic animal friends.
