Get Fuzzy

Am I alone in loving Darby Conley's Get Fuzzy. Please, look at today's strip (28/1/4). Could a cat be more evil? Or funny?
I read an article in a recent TCJ which claimed that paper strips had just moved into the Smarm age, where the strips are tailored to keep people happy with the status quo, while giving us no new gags. Nope: "I got a little birdy right here." Arf.

I love Get Fuzzy... it's too bad you can only read 30 days back on the archives. My favourite strip being from last year:

"This cup says Planet of the Apes on it. It appears that it refers to a monkey-themed restaurant. I wish to go there."

"That's a movie, not a restaurant, dude. And I find your desire to eat a monkey disturbing."

(licking lips) "Mmmmmonkeys...."

For more non-smarm, try Pearls Before Swine and The Boondocks

More words from Bucky Katt:

"Imagine...a place where Monkeys wash up on the beach like hairy ocean fruit..."

Just imagine....

This strip seems just OK to me - sometimes cheesy, occasionally funny. Just my two cents on the subject.

Boondocks rocks, though, although it's gotten a little lame in the past half-year or so. It used to be that every strip was great, now it seems that 1 out of every 6 or 7 is really good and the rest are just 'ehhhh.'

Satchel: (watching t.v. with Rob) "Why does that man say peace out instead of good bye?"

Rob: "well, some people like to make statements and he's just saying something that's important to him, so he uses the word peace."

Bucky: (leaving room) "Well, I'm gonna go catch a few Z's, TUNA OUT!"

Sometimes there seems to be no joke meant in the strips...but most of the time the wittiness just kills me!

I have shed many a happy tear on lazy days reading through the collections.
