Summary

Mr. Kesselbach stopped short on the threshold of the sitting–room, took his secretary's arm and, in an anxious voice, whispered:
"Chapman, some one has been here again."
"Surely not, sir," protested the secretary. "You have just opened the hall–door yourself; and the key never left your pocket while we were lunching in the restaurant."
"Chapman, some one has been here again," Mr. Kesselbach repeated. He pointed to a traveling–bag on the mantelpiece. "Look, I can prove it. That bag was shut. It is now open."
Chapman protested.
"Are you quite sure that you shut it, sir? Besides, the bag contains nothing but odds and ends of no value, articles of dress. . . ."

    Bucky, Satchel, and Rob are back for more madness and mayhem. And the world couldn't be happier! Darby Conley's previous titles include two New York Times  best-sellers. Bucky Katt is a rather obstinate Siamese who constantly  battles his "owner" Rob for control of their home. Satchel Pooch, the  Labrador-Shar-pei mix who's sweet and lovable, makes a nice lackey for  Bucky. Bucky knows he's smarter than everyone else; it's just a matter  of convincing the rest of the world. Satchel always tries to do the  right thing but very often ends up the brunt of Bucky's antics. Rob  Wilco is a bachelor trying to regain household domesticity. Together,  this seemingly typical threesome gets into some less-than-typical but  hilarious situations. There's never a dull moment at the Wilco  residence.Get Fuzzy, featured in over 650 newspapers  worldwide, is one of the most highly lauded cartoons in the country. The  National Cartoonists Society named it Best Comic Strip of 2002. Its  sidesplitting humor and hilariously illustrated facial nuances appeal to  animal lovers everywhere. Bucky and Satchel's words and expressions are  what we all picture our beloved pets saying and doing.
