The Fuzzy Bunch: A Get Fuzzy Collection Description
House cats are known to be aloof, but “cat-titude” reaches new heights in Get Fuzzy, the bitingly hilarious comic strip from cartoonist Darby Conley. Get Fuzzy is a wry portrait of single life, with pets. At the center of this warm and fuzzy romp is Rob Wilco, a single, mild-mannered ad executive and guardian of anthropomorphic scamps Bucky and Satchel. Bucky is a temperamental cat who clearly wears the pants in this eccentric household. Satchel is a gentle pooch who tries to remain neutral, but frequently ends up on the receiving end of Bucky's mischief. Together, this unlikely trio endures all the trials and tribulations of a typical family...more or less.
The National Cartoonists Society honored Get Fuzzy with a Reuben division award, naming it the Best Newspaper Comic Strip of 2002.

I've looked forward to The Fuzzy Bunch for quite some time now. Darby Conley certainly didn't let me down this time.
I spent most of the first half of the book laughing out loud at Bucky's antics. I felt like Conley went back to the strip's roots and let Bucky take center stage instead of relying heavily on guest appearances. M3 does make an appearance, as does as woeful (but amusing) spy from IDIOTIC, but the guest stars take a back seat to the hi-jinks of everyone's favorite cat (sorry, Garfield). The best appearance of all, I believe, was that of Fungo Squiggly, who mixes it up with Bucky to great result. The writing is sharp, the characters are spot on and China built the Great Wall to defend against the muppet invasion.
That's really about the only way I know to sum The Fuzzy Bunch up. Don't miss it. You won't be disappointed.

THE FUZZY BUNCH is a collection of "Get Fuzzy" comic strips that ran in newspapers from May 24, 2010 - April 23, 2011. Before opening the book I was already amused by the title and cover of the book which parodies THE BRADY BUNCH. "Get Fuzzy" usually includes a couple of longer running storylines and several week-long storylines. THE FUZZY BUNCH isn't any different in that regard to any other "Get Fuzzy" collection. However, THE FUZZY BUNCH has one of my favorite "Get Fuzzy" storylines of all time: Bucky's hypothesis that Muppets are genetically-engineered Cold War Communist creatures. This storyline goes on for over six weeks total and it's hilarious. Shortly after the end of that story, Bucky upsets Fungo the Ferret by covering the hallway walls with post-it notes filled with falsehoods about ferrets (or weasels in Bucky's language). In retaliation, Fungo steals Bucky's closet door and seals the entryway in. It's a very funny story. I haven't always enjoyed "Get Fuzzy." However, after I started reading it for a while I got hooked. I became disappointed with the strip when the focus between Bucky, Satchel, and Rob was lost. With THE FUZZY BUNCH and the previous collection in the series, THE BIRTH OF CANIS, it appears "Get Fuzzy" has gotten its groove back and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
