Bucky, Satchel, and Rob are back for more madness and mayhem in Scrum Bums. And the world couldn't be happier! Darby Conley's previous titles include two New York Times best-sellers.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.… (more)

Get Fuzzy is my go to comic to cheer me up. Scrum Bums does not disappoint. ( )

There is a subplot in this book that compares Bucky and Satchel's lives to the family of human and animals depicted in "Garfield". Such a comparison is indeed enlightening; in terms of art, writing, and characters, "Get Fuzzy" has it all over that mediocre, but vastly more popular strip. And in this book, there is a particularly touching storyline that concludes at the bottom of pg. 47 in a way that reveals the hidden, but always present, layers of complexity in the strip. Throw in the frequent subtle hilarity that is a hallmark of this strip, and it becomes clear that "Garfield" is not fit to clean the brushes for Darby Conley. ( )
