Written and drawn by Darby Conley, Get Fuzzy is an award-winning
American newspapercomic strip which debuted in 1999. At that time, it
ran in about 75 different newspapers across the country, and it now runs
in over 200. There has been talk of a movie based on Get Fuzzy.
Taking place mostly in an apartment in Massachusetts, the strip centres around three main True Religion Jeans Sale characters
- Rob Wilco and his pet dog and cat, Bucky and Satchel - along with
other minor characters and occasional one-time characters.
Darby
Conley was born in 1970 in Concord, Massachusetts, but grew up in
Knoxville, Tennesee. He went to Amherst College, was a cartoonist for
the school newspaper, played rugby and graduated with a Fine Arts
Degree. Before being a professional cartoonist he was a lifeguard, a
museum art director and taught in elementary school. He lists his
influences as Tintin, Peanuts, Douglas Adams, Monty Python and his
childhood dog, Patch. Conley now lives in Boston.
CharactersBucky
KattI cough, burp, every so often I spit something out. On rare
occasions it is necessary to make a gastronomic correction, but I have
never thrown up! Good day, sir!The main character is a Siamese cat who
talks and stands on his hind legs. He has a white body but his head,
tail, feet and paws are all black. His ears are always laid back, giving
him an angry and aggressive appearance. He has a single fang protruding
from the left side of his mouth. Bucky is mischievous, always hatching
evil plans and taking advantage of Satchel or insulting Rob or trying to
get his credit card details, which he successfully did when he planted a
voice recorder while Rob was making an order over the phone. Bucky's
greatest ambition is to eat a monkey. He has also wanted to run for
president, have a movie made about him, and tried to write a bestselling
book that is a rip-off of The Da Vinci Code and the Harry Potter and
Lord of the Rings books. He also wanted to make a stage musical which
would involve a song called 'The Sound of Monkeys'1, which would be
composed in the key of 'D licious'. Apparently, Bucky has exploits
outside the apartment, as he has many friends - and enemies - coming for
visits.
Satchel PoochIn 2006, I will eat more pie!A dim-witted yet innocent and lovable Labrador True Religion SaleAfter
Retriever and ex-guard dog with strange eating habits, Satchel has
large, often sad-looking dog eyes and wears a wristwatch, named Handy,
though it doesn't work and he can't tell the time. Bucky is always
taking advantage of Satchel's ineptitude to steal his money, food, or
dog toys, then selling them back to him at an inflated price. Satchel
says he never thinks of people in terms of what colour they are2.
Rob
WilcoA perfectly ordinary single man who works in advertising, Rob
lives alone in his apartment with Bucky and Satchel. Rob is often
overwhelmed by having to keep control of Bucky, and has a constant
dishevelled, tired look, though his appearance has evolved over time:
earlier on he wore glasses and neater hair. His interests are apparent
due to pictures and phrases on his T-shirts. Rob plays video games, is a
vegetarian and is a sports fan3 - Bucky and Satchel are named after
baseball players Buck O'Neil and Satchel Paige. Rob has a brother,
Roger, and his father, Francis, is a retired firefighter. He also has a
cousin in the Marines.
Other CharactersMac Manc MacManx: Bucky's English cousin, from Manchester. http://www.jeansuksales.co.uk/ Douglas Adams died, he was commemorated with a giant 42 and Bucky and
Satchel clutching towels, muttering don't panic, don't panic.
The
strip has had other more serious storylines, such as when Rob's cousin,
a Marine, lost his leg in Iraq. Another time, while Satchel was outside
fetching the newspaper, he chased a bicycle and got his paw caught in
the spokes, injuring his arm. He was taken to the vet and stitched up.
However, he also lost his beloved wristwatch, Handy, in the accident. He
shopped for a new one, but couldn't find one he liked. Then, in a rare
act of kindness uncharacteristic of Bucky, he found Satchel's watch in
the sewer and cleaned and fixed it for him.
