Groovitude: A Get Fuzzy Treasury

Product Review

Debuting in 1999, 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.

Review about this particular book; not the comic in general, December 2, 2002

This review is from: Groovitude: A Get Fuzzy Treasury (Paperback)

Ah yes, the rare moment when I get to review a review. The problem with the reviews written prior to this one is that they address the comic itself, but make no mention of this particular product. So let's get that part out of the way:If you already own The Dog is Not a Toy and Fuzzy Logic, then there is little reason to also purchase this book. Groovitude contains the strips from these two books, and the only bonus it offers is that, unlike the previous books, the Sunday strips are in color. However, should you own only one of the previous two books, then you will be better off shelling out the extra $$$ on Groovitude rather than getting the older, smaller book. (And you should spread the joy and give your older copy to someone else.)
Finally, if you own neither DINAT or Fuzzy Logic, don't bother with those books and get this one, as it contains all of the strips from the previous books; some in color- plus, the price for what you get can't be complained about.What first...Read more

Be aware, this book has virtually no new content, September 19, 2002

Groovitude *combines* the first two Get Fuzzy books, and adds some sunday color. If you already own the previous books, you will be unhappy. Seeing as I got all three at the same time, I was disapointed. Get it as a gift for someone who doesn't already own the others.

Groovitude combines the contents of "The Dog is Not a Toy" and "Fuzzy Logic" and adds color to the Sunday strips. If you have not already bought those two books, "Groovitude" is a great place to start your Get Fuzzy collection. If you already have them and you're looking for new material, you're probably going to be disappointed. My three star rating is a combination of five stars for those who don't already have Get Fuzzy books and one star for merely being a copy of what I already have.
