Get Fuzzy : 2006 Day-to-Day Calendar Comic artist Darby Conley created these new comic strip characters. At first I thought they were confusing. I even thought that Bucky Cat might not be a cat. Then I figured out that Bucky is Siamese cat - my favorite breed. After a while I got used to the character of Bucky and Satchel the scatter-brained pooch. Their human owner is Bob and he has his hands full. It's an undeniably funny comic that is filled with grins. Here you can have a small calendar and enjoy the art and the humor of this talented man. |
