Book Reviews of Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun: A Get Fuzzy Treasury
Book Review: Easily the funniest strip currently in production
Summary: 5 Stars
"Get Fuzzy" is easily the best and funniest strip in production at this time. Darby Conley, the artist, seems to be a cross between author Christopher Moore and cartoonist Berkeley Breathed.
For years I mourned the loss of "Bloom County." Sure, there were other funny cartoons. "The Far Side" was great. So was "Calvin and Hobbes." "Dilbert" does bring out a chuckle now and then. And "Opus" is back, although not nearly as funny as before. There was just something about "Bloom County," with its combination of humans, talking animals and social satire that made it laugh-out-loud humorous almost on a daily basis.
"Get Fuzzy" has now filled much of the void with the stupidity of Satchell's good hearted nature and Bucky's evil quest to be the boss.
"Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun" is probably the best book thus far. I have to ditto another reviewer, however, and warn buyers about Amazon's combining this title with "Blueprint for Disaster." While hardcore readers might want both, buyers should be aware of the fact that much (if not perhaps all, not sure) of the content of "Blueprint" exists within "Big Book of Fun."
My only hope is that Darby Conley will continue to grow and develop "Get Fuzzy." As much as I hate to say it, when you look at the book (instead of reading a daily strip) you can see where he sometimes relies on a redundant technique - such as when Rob or Bucky uses a word that Satchell misinterprets in the last frame and this becomes the punchline. It's funny, but it's not the heart of the "Get Fuzzy."
No matter, "Get Fuzzy" is still hiliarious. If you haven't seen it before you are missing a cartoon strip treasure.
