'''''Get Fuzzy''''' is an American [[gag-a-day]] [[comic strip]] written and drawn by [[Darby Conley]]. It features Boston advertising executive Rob Wilco and his two [[anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] pets, a dog, Satchel Pooch, and a cat, Bucky Katt. While there have been no new comics produced since 2019, the reruns continue to appear in newspapers.

The strip's humor comes from the conflict between Bucky's and Satchel's personalities, which are extreme stereotypes of cats and dogs. Sweet, trusting, naïve Satchel is routinely subjected to the exploitation of cruel, self-centered Bucky, who is always torturing the poor canine. Rob, the middleman, is often frazzled from dealing with them, or more specifically, from dealing with Bucky's destructive nature and overall nastiness. The three characters live in an apartment on Boston's Longwood Avenue. ''Get Fuzzy'' often eschews the traditional "setup-punchline" format of most funnies, instead building on absurd dialog between characters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://joshreads.com/?p=573|title=Bother – The Comics Curmudgeon|work=The Comics Curmudgeon|date=9 April 2006|access-date=April 16, 2012|archive-date=February 8, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130208004804/http://joshreads.com/?p=573|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://goingwashingtonpostal.blogspot.com/2007/12/comics-of-day-saturday.html|title=Comics of the Day|author=Zpop|work=Going Washington Postal|date=10 December 2007|access-date=April 16, 2012|archive-date=October 12, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012041634/http://goingwashingtonpostal.blogspot.com/2007/12/comics-of-day-saturday.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://goingwashingtonpostal.blogspot.com/2007/12/comics-of-day-friday.html|title=Comics of the Day|author=Zpop|work=Going Washington Postal|date=10 December 2007|access-date=April 16, 2012|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304122502/http://goingwashingtonpostal.blogspot.com/2007/12/comics-of-day-friday.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://voices.washingtonpost.com/comic-riffs/2009/04/one-liners_sure_well_eat_em_up.html|newspaper=The Washington Post|title=Deliciously Good Dialogue?

The unusual title of the strip comes from a concert poster that Conley once created for his brother's band, the Fuzzy Sprouts. "Life's too short to be cool," the poster read, "Get Fuzzy."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nya-nya.us/getfuzzy/conley.html|title=Get fuzzy by darby conley|access-date=9 November 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110107061509/http://www.nya-nya.us/getfuzzy/conley.html|archive-date=7 January 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>
