▲''Get Fuzzy'' is a newspaper comic written and drawn by Darby Conley, that chronicles the day to day (mis)adventures of a Siamese cat named Bucky, a Labrador-Shar Pei cross named Satchel and their owner/roommate, Rob Wilco.
The three live in an apartment in [[Boston (useful notes)|Boston]], where Satchel has his own room, while Bucky takes a towel closet (he has not only complained about it, but seceded from the United States). Many of the jokes revolve around the mean-natured Bucky taking advantage of Satchel's naïveté, driving Rob crazy, and [[Incredibly Lame Pun|incredibly lame puns]].

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Two examples. Bucky was once blackmailed by the chimpmunkfia but by the next week the arc was completely forgotten. About a year later he got into debt with cat mafia who sent one of their [[Affably Evil]] goons to threaten him into paying. Bucky left with Satchel to buy them off with a blank check and Satchel's sprained arm (Bucky had offered to have Satchel win the money in a fight against two dogs, but Rob intervened) but we never found out what happened. The next week it was mentioned once and never spoken of again.
** A fews comics had Satchel finally [http://www.gocomics.com/getfuzzy/2002/11/19 putting Bucky] [http://www.gocomics.com/getfuzzy/2002/11/20 in his place.] For a short time Bucky was terrified of saying or doing anything to upset Satchel. After about a week it's just dropped and never really brought up again.
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Bucky tried to take this route once in an attempt to get to his ferret nemesis. He got lost.
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Mac Manc McManx, sometimes called M3
* [[April Fools' Day]]: Joined ''[[FoxTrot]]'' and ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'' for a [https://web.archive.org/web/20060627063851/http://blog.old-castle.org/~edgar/archives/ft050401.gif gag] [https://web.archive.org/web/20060627064322/http://blog.old-castle.org/~edgar/archives/pearls2005036620401.gif involving] [https://web.archive.org/web/20060627064337/http://blog.old-castle.org/~edgar/archives/getfuzzy2005036620401.gif a Ouija board] in 2005.
* [[Art Evolution]]: The main characters looked a lot more realistic in the early comics. [http://www.gocomics.com/getfuzzy/1999/09/10 Just compare this comic] to any current one. Bucky doesn't even look like the same character.
* [[Artistic License Animal Care]]: Rob's mother tries to make her cat go vegetarian.
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* [[Drop-In Character]]: McManx keeps popping up. He seems to think he lives with Rob; even when he does get back to England, it's only for a visit.
* [[Burn the Witch|Dunk The Witch]]: Bucky uses this on Sachel half to bully him and half to give him a much-needed bath.
* [[Eskimos Aren't Real]]: Bucky tries to tell Satchel that Hawaii is a myth perpetrated by the Liberal Media.▼
** He also claims that Harry Potter is fictional because it contains fictional elements, namely owls, trains, and England▼
* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: Monkeys are an obsession (and would-be [[Trademark Favorite Food]]) for Bucky.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Bucky owns a doll which he named "Miss Pretty"
* [[Reindeer Aren't Real]]:

* [[Retconning the Wiki]]: In one strip, Bucky edited [[That Other Wiki|Wikipedia]] to say that he won Wimbledon and that his "album" went "fourple platinum", as well as that he beat up [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|Fungo]].
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: Darby did this in the ''Pearls'' storyline. It depicted him as a lazy, rude slob. In contrast, Stephan Pastis was neat, professional, and polite
