Publisher Comments:

Bucky Katt is a rather obstinate Siamese who constantly battles his "owner" Rob for control of their home. Satchel Pooch, the Labrador-Shar-pei mix who's sweet and lovable, makes a nice lackey for Bucky. Bucky knows he's smarter than everyone else; it's just a matter of convincing the rest of the world. Satchel always tries to do the right thing but very often ends up the brunt of Bucky's antics. Rob Wilco is a bachelor trying to regain household domesticity. Together, this seemingly typical threesome gets into some less-than-typical but hilarious situations. There's never a dull moment at the Wilco residence.

Get Fuzzy, featured in over 500 newspapers worldwide, is one of the most highly lauded cartoons in the country. The National Cartoonists Society named it Best Comic Strip of 2002. Its sidesplitting humor and hilariously illustrated facial nuances appeal to animal lovers everywhere. Bucky and Satchel's words and expressions are what we all picture our beloved pets saying and doing.

For anyone who loves Get Fuzzy, or those of you that may be unfamiliar with Rob, Satchel and Bucky, this is a great book. Parts of it will have you rolling on the floor, others will have you chuckling and smiling to yourself. I am a huge Get Fuzzy fan, and this is the first book that I got (along with the comic-a-day calendar). I am planning to work now to complete my collection. For those of you with a cat(s) and/or dog(s), you will sit there thinking, "hey, my pet does that too!!!" (or if they could you knew they would).
