Ignorance, Thy Name Is Bucky: A Get Fuzzy Collection
Chances are the warm fuzzies aren't what you will get when you pick up Ignorance, Thy Name Is Bucky . Instead, you'll get LOL moments as Darby Conley pumps hilarity into living the single life with pets.
The family Rob Wilco, the tallest member of the family, is a single, mild-mannered ad executive who pays the bills and often the price, thanks to his curious and anthropomorphic housemates. Rob gives guidance and all sorts of "material" to Bucky, a temperamental cat, who clearly wears the fur pants in the family. Satchel, a good-hearted pooch, plays neutral, but usually ends up on the receiving end of Bucky's mischief.
"Thanks for Get Fuzzy , the funniest comic strip on planet Earth. Sweet-natured Satchel Pooch and the utterly crazed Bucky B. Katt are much more fun than Odie and Garfield." --Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
* Three Get Fuzzy collections have become New York Times Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun , Blueprint for Disaster , and Say Cheesy .
* Recognized as Best Comic Strip in 2002 by the National Cartoonists Society.

About the author
Darby Conley
47 books152 followersDarby Conley is an American cartoonist best known for the popular comic strip Get Fuzzy.
Conley was born in Concord, Massachusetts in 1970, and grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee.
While in high school in 1986, he won a student cartooning competition. During his Senior Year at Doyle High School (now South-Doyle High School) in Knoxville, Conley was voted 'Most Talented' by his graduating class. He attended Amherst College, where he studied Fine Arts, drew cartoons for the student newspaper, played rugby, and was a member of an all-male, jazz-influenced a cappella group, the Zumbyes. (Fellow cartoonist alumni of Amherst include FoxTrot creator Bill Amend and the late John Cullen Murphy of Prince Valiant fame.)
Like Rob Wilco, the human protagonist in Get Fuzzy, Conley is an enthusiastic rugby union fan, playing during college and sustaining several injuries that failed to diminish his passion for the sport.
Before becoming a cartoonist, Conley held a wide array of jobs: elementary school teacher, art director for a science museum, lifeguard, and bicycle repairman. This eclectic collection of professions is reminiscent of those held by Douglas Adams, whom Conley has mentioned as a comedic influence.
Conley, an animal rights activist and vegetarian, lives in Boston.

Not many comic strips make me laugh out loud. Get Fuzzy is an exception. Rob Wilco, Bucky Katt and Satchel Pooch are three of the best comic strip characters in publication today, and their antics always make me smile. Even the characters which only pop in occasionally such as Fungo Squiggly, Quentin Tabbytino and Mac Manc McManx will put a smile on your face.
If you've loved previous Get Fuzzy collections, you won't be disappointed by this one. If this is your first experience with Get Fuzzy, welcome aboard and make sure you pick up the previous collections--lots of laughs await you!

I love Get Fuzzy. When I first started reading them, I found every strip hysterical. This book was funny....but not hysterical. There were some laugh out loud moments. And I LOVE the expressions on Bucky's face. Those alone can make me laugh.

I usually enjoy this comic strip, but this edition just didn't seem his usual quality stuff. The strips seemed forced and really not the slightest bit humorous. I'm hoping this book is just a fluke and his next will be much better.

Thanks so much for the laughs! I loved the cousin from England. My friend loaned this book to me. Our shared love of this comic has brought us even closer together.

My son owns all of these comics and now that he is off to college, I am revisiting them as they wait for his return. These comics are a bit quirky and are reminiscent of Bloom County in the political and sarcasm realms. You can't help but love Bucky, the one fanged, narcissistic wonder cat that is the star of this comic.

I just can't get enough Bucky.

The loveable random themes of the strips are fun and the illustration on the front is hilarious. This is one good collection.
