Saw it mentioned in a post in GQ but thought is deserved a thread of it’s own. Imagine Garfield as a Siamese cat with an attitude, an even dumber dog and their hapless human owner. [Get Fuzzy](http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/index.html) is my new favorite comic. I’ve been reading Dinette Set first every morning till now. The 1/27 comic is a classic. It still makes me laugh. ---

Yeh, that’s a very good strip. Have you seen “Rhymes With Orange”? Well worth reading. ---

Not in a newspaper, but my favorite web-based cartoon: Unshelved. The hero is Dewey, a librarian with an attitude. Of course, being in the biz, I’m prejudiced. [http://www.overduemedia.com/](http://www.overduemedia.com/) Fifteen Iguana ---

I think Pearls Before Swine is friggin hilarious. It slays me. I also like Bo Nanas. But I am easily amused. ---

The best part of Get Fuzzy is the random shirts that Rob wears. Sports teams (including foreign ones), restaurants, he even had a “42” shirt the week Douglas Adams died. ---

The best Get Fuzzy ever was the halloween one from a couple years back and it is the October toon on my Get Fuzzy calendar. Satchel dresses up as a dirt devil for halloween. I love that strip. Other favorites are Rhymes with Orange, Zits, Baby Blues, Stone Soup and Frazz. ---

Wow, “Get Fuzzy” is hilarious! I love today’s strip, with the dog begging to be let in, only to find that he’s _already_ in. I had a very, very stupid dog once that would stand at the back door waiting to be let in, then he’d follow you through the house to the front door, which you’d open, and then he’d walk right out again, apparently under the impression that he was going “more in” or something. Watching him stand on the porch, look around, and dimly realize that he had somehow _not_ ended up inside was a riot. (Yes, we would let him in after that; my family is only about halfway mean.) ---

As soon as I saw the thread title, my first thought was **Get Fuzzy**. I haven’t found a strip this good since **Bloom County**. I’ve turned on a couple of friends to it too. ---

I do love ‘Get Fuzzy.’ But my newspaper just started running ‘Frazzle,’ and it’s my new save-for-last comic. ---

I loved one strip so much that I ordered it on a mug. Bucky volunteers to be America’s “Slap you upside the head laureate”, and Rob informs him that nobody will pay him for that. Bucky then says that he will offer it as a free service. I frequently use that mug while moderating, just to get me in the proper mood.
