I think I touched on this issue elsewhere. Far be it for me to tell Mr. Billingsley which old strips to run again but Today's rerun strip part of this week's storyline rerun of Curtis at Gunther's Barber Shop from had Diane's old hairstyle rather than her current one There was a storyline that rerun a few weeks ago that I need to look into again that had Diane's previous hairstyle. Quick update on our two favorite comic strip updates As for "Curtis" it's in reruns for an 11th straight week and I knew it before I even bothered to look at the copyright date since it's another rerun with the old Diane hairstyle.
Sure enough it's part of a storyline in which Diane is entertaining some friends from church as I looked up. Then Gunk comes over with his flyspeck island chameleon who eventually causes hijinks especially with Diane and her church ladies.
Oh and Dan Piraro is on vacation from "Bizarro" but there are no reruns unlike some strips. Instead like the "Rhymes With Orange" example there will be a sub artist. This week's strips are being drawn by J. Every week that Curtis continues in rerun status reinforces the thought that Ray Billingsley has given up on creating new strips. My thinking is that King Features keeps Curtis syndicated because it is the only comic strip on its roster dealing with an Afro-American family by an Afro-American cartoonist.
Sunday October 10, - April 28, ? By jove you're right. And with further research I stand corrected. The last new Daily "Curtis" ran April 6th meaning we have 13 straight weeks of "Curtis" reruns meaning Billingsley has already surpassed Trudeau's break Maybe Garry should've asked for more time off. And with the storyline info I just gave the rerun streak will stretch to 14 straight weeks. BTW The April 28th strip was a repeat. Nice comic strip info BTW D. I thought Theron Heir had returned to Rudy Park with his signature back on the strip.
Turns out this week's strips are copyright Due to circumstances beyond my control I am offline at home indefinitely so my post comes from a library. And with Doonesbury's sabbatical and the New York Daily News refusing to carry rerun strips, they're down two strips this week. Is a well-known author, some of his books are a fascination for readers like in the Groovitude book, this is one of the most wanted Darby Conley author readers around the world.
Debuting in , Get Fuzzy has rocketed to the top of the charts Get Fuzzy has become a hit cartoon with its bitingly funny portrait of single life with pets. And why not The laughs come fast and furious Get Fuzzy features Rob Wilco, a single, mild mannered advertising executive who s the so called guardian of Bucky and Satchel, anthropomorphic scamps that still live by their animal instincts Bucky, a temperamental cat who carries a boom box and goes on spending sprees, definitely calls the shots in this eclectic household, while Satchel is a kindly canine with a sensitive soul who tries to remain neutral, even though he bears the brunt of his feline companion s mischief.
Between the three of them, the Wilco household faces a whole host of trials and tribulations that classify them as family Satchel wants his boundaries respected Bucky refuses to eat vegetables but insists on snarfing up Rob s plants Rob tries to meet women, but his pets continually subvert his efforts In every frame, Get Fuzzy depicts the hilarious war between the species, giving the animals an equal footing in hilarious one upmanship Get Fuzzy is the comic strip for everyone who loves their pets with an attitude That said, Groovitude is Get Fuzzy at its finest.

Nanas and Mrs. Conley, an illustrator and former elementary school teacher, always wanted to be a cartoonist. Born in Concord, Mass. While he was getting a fine arts degree, he drummed up cartoons for the school newspaper. The other two-thirds? Each panel stands alone, attempting to communicate its humor in a single frame.
The ideas come from all around Parisi. This is one of the books I picked after having finished the rather dense Frankenstein. I had never heard of this comic strip before. It's nowhere near the upper echelons of Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, or e One of the best aspects of being on a vacation at the house of good friends, is being able to browse their bookshelves.
It's nowhere near the upper echelons of Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, or early Peanuts, but it was fun, light entertainment to intersperse with my heavier reading. Really this was about a 2. Sep 01, Leslie rated it really liked it. Get Fuzzy. Bucky, the perpetually belligerent Siamese cat. Satchel, the perenially abashed sharpei-lab mix. Rob, the commentator and ineffective arbiter of the household. I figure that chortling out loud about every other page is a pretty reasonable hit rate for a comic, so Conley clearly was doing his job.
A lot of what's funny is just the absurdity of many of the situations he created. Some of it's the consistency of the characters. And there are little turns of phrase that come out of no-w Ah And there are little turns of phrase that come out of no-where and hilariously frame the action.
It clearly owes a lot to Doonesbury and Garfield, but still is its own thing. And I like it. Jan 02, Kathleen rated it really liked it Shelves: , anthology , comics. Groovitude is a collection of Get Fuzzy comics. I am quite fond of Get Fuzzy, really. It's like Garfield if Garfield acted like a particularly angry and dumb cat, and if Odie was considerably smarter but still not the brightest bulb in the box.
Get Fuzzy also tends to run two or three-week plotlines, which I like. Still, some of the comics seem like they don't really have a punchline, and some of them plain aren't funny. If you like evil cats and sweet dogs and deadpan snarker owners, I can re Groovitude is a collection of Get Fuzzy comics. If you like evil cats and sweet dogs and deadpan snarker owners, I can recommend it anyway.
I love Get Fuzzy, and this was an awesome Treasury for the comics. I didn't enjoy it as much as Looserpalooza, but it was still a good read. Who can resist a little fuzzy maniac like Bucky, a sweet, clueless who doesn't even know what "clueless" means dog like Satchel and a long-suffering, wonderful nerd like Rob?
The Wilco household is full of insanity, laughs and dead critters threats from Bucky , and I love reading about it! May 28, Tristy rated it it was amazing Shelves: scavenged , comix. Heavily influenced by Berkeley Breathed in the best possible ways.
Bucky is my favorite comic book cat of all time. Darby Conley has truly captured what life with a Siamese cat is like. Sep 02, Nicole rated it it was amazing Shelves: humor-comics. Re-read in August Get Fuzzy is on the short list of my all-time favorite cartoons, probably coming in second only to The Far Side. Great word play and pop culture references, plus I love the idea of animals going out to restaurants.
And, of course, Bucky's songs are totally awesome. Plus, I can enjoy the thought of not having to pay for all of the vet costs and damaged property replacement.
I guess that's what makes it okay to like Bucky! May 19, Claire rated it really liked it Recommended to Claire by: Alllison. My sister Allison loaned me this book, and it had me at the first strip. She and I laughed for about 15 minutes, and it just kept getting better.
Very fun, very clever, and the reason I don't like pets! I know, you all read very impressive books and I send over comic books! Hey, a girl's gotta relax too! Jun 14, lamarcus brown rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Anyone who doesn't take themselves too seriously.
Recommended to lamarcus by: yuki. The funniest comic strip I've ever read. Darby is amazingly clever; I've read all of these books several times and they never cease to make me laugh.
I wish I could afford to send a set of them to all of my friends. In fact, I'm thinking of buying a set and giving them to Jared for his wedding. Apr 30, Adriane rated it it was amazing Shelves: comic-books , humor. I didn't know that this comic was so funny, I think thats because this is more of a narrative comedy than a one off sort of thing and I'd only ve read them as one offs.
I'll be getting a new book next time we go to BookBuyers. May 03, Melissa Lee-Tammeus rated it it was amazing Shelves: borrowed. Yet another Get Fuzzy Collection.
