I get "Get Fuzzy"

Why do I like the comic strip “Get Fuzzy?”
It’s not the laugh-out-loud funniest strip I have ever read, nor is it as absurd as “The Far Side,” nor is it as iconic as “Peanuts,” nor is it as whimsical ad “Calvin and Hobbes,” nor is it as pop-cultural as “Bloom County,” nor is it as compellingly complicated as “Li'l Abner.”
But, that being said, I really like the characters.
It is amazing to me that Darby Conley, the strip’s creator, never owned a cat until well after starting to draw the strip. He seems to be able to lampoon their behavior pretty well.
One of his main characters is Bucky, a Siamese cat, who is constantly doing mean-spirited things to the other household quadruped, a dog named Satchel. Bucky is also a constant irritant toward their owner, Rob.
The characters have changed a little bit since the strip started. For example, Bucky’s schemes have gotten larger in scale, and much more self-promotional.
In an early story, Bucky put hair remover in Rob’s bathroom, leaving Rob bald.
At one point, Bucky was destroying household items, labeling them and calling them art in an effort to become recognized as a brilliant modern artist. In another recent scheme, he was trying to become someone renowned for speaking only in witty quotes. In the current story line, Bucky is trying to start his own line of high-fashion clothing, to be called “Monkeywhere?”
Of course, Bucky rarely leaves the house, and has no access to anything that could propel his, uhm, creativity into the world.
Satchel is usually a foil who falls for Bucky’s endless supply of schemes. In the most recent strips, Satchel bought two of Bucky’s “Monkeywhere?” shirts for the price of three.
Conly also has a cast (I just made a typo and learned that an anagram for cast is cats.) of goofball characters, including Shakespug, a pug who often quotes Shakespeare; Chubby Hugs, a pudgy cat who hugs everyone he sees; and Mack Mac McManx, one of Bucky’s cousins who stays at the house sometimes. The only normal character who turns up from time to time is Rob’s dad, who seems to be the only person capable to handling Bucky’s antics.
My favorite strip has Rob talking to Bucky about some grand scheme, and Rob says something like, “I have five bucks that says you’ll never do it.”
To which Bucky replies, “I won’t be intimidated by you or your freakish talking money.”
I wish I had the occasion to use that in conversation someday.
