So far this century, there have arguably been three breakout hits on the comics page-
The Boondocks, Get Fuzzy, and
Pearls Before Swine." -
San Francisco Chronicle *
Get Fuzzy was named Best Comic Strip of the Year in 2002 by the National Cartoonists Society and now appears in more than 500 newspapers worldwide.
Satchel, the ever-hapless Shar-pei-Lab mix in the Get Fuzzy gang, is the star of
I'm Ready for My Movie Contract: A Get Fuzzy Collection, inspired by his hero, Wonder Mutt. Rounding out this not-so-warm-and-fuzzy cast is Rob Wilco, a single, mild-mannered ad exec, and Bucky Katt, a highly strung, bucktoothed, laid-back-eared Siamese with an eye for mischief, an obsession with monkey pizza, and a neurotic fear of beavers. Together they form one crazy troupe for fun and mayhem.
* Three books,
Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun,
Blueprint for Disaster, and
Say Cheesy, have been
New York Times best-sellers.
