Get Fuzzy®: 2009 Day-to-Day Calendar
by Andrews McMeel Publishing (Calendar)

There's something for everyone in Darby Conley's popular comic strip Get Fuzzy.

All can agree, though, that the 2009 Get Fuzzy calendar is a hilarious way to spend the year, regardless of which side of the invisible fence you're on.* Get Fuzzy was named Best Comic Strip of 2002 by the National Cartoonists Society.Though Satchel--who sees in only black and white--won't be much impressed, this Get Fuzzy format just got an upgrade. For the first time, each page's cartoon is presented in full color.
