Get FuzzyGet 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, while Satchel is sweet, trusting, and at times quite naive (Bucky once sold Satchel his own nerf football by putting "Super" above "nerf" to make it a "super nerf"). Even after a cyclist ran over his arm, Satchel did not seek revenge or place blame. Rob is often a little frazzled from dealing with these two, or more specifically from dealing with Bucky's destructive nature and overall nastiness. Occasionally, Bucky expresses his friendship for Satchel in times of crises. More often, Bucky torments Satchel, thereby expressing his inbred Siamese hostility (thus requiring the creation of house rule number four: "the dog is not a toy"). In addition to baseball, Rob also follows rugby and ice hockey; he is a science fiction fan and often wears clothing related to his interests, such as a WETA hat, a Quebec Nordiques jersey, or his USMC t-shirt. Rob thinks the third edition Dungeon Master's Guide is "su-weet". He is also a fan of Leo Kottke. Rob works at an advertising firm; he is sometimes quite critical of the ad campaigns he has helped create, especially a certain perfume ad. Characters Main Other Characters Other characters that show up on occasion are: - Joe Doman - Rob's friend and co-worker
- Rob's dad Francis Wilco - a retired firefighter, who can't stand babysitting Bucky
- Fungo Squiggly - a neighboring ferret whom Bucky intensly dislikes
- Chubby Huggs - a large fat touchy-feely cat who loves to embrace Bucky and tell him how much he loves him.
- Various other anthropomorphic animal friends.
