If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, then it must be a duck! In this case all we see here is a cheap rip off of the original Garfield. Let's see both Garfield and Get Fuzzy both star obnoxious cat, a simpleton dog and a nerdy owner. Of all the possibilities in the world Darby could have chosen, he opts to use the same three types of characters that Garfield has. Could he have more plagaristic than that? If it isn't Garfield, why then do people have to keep defending it so much that it is not? Why are we all automatically reminded of Garfield if Get Fuzzy really is not? If it wasn't Garfield to begin with, then no one should have to insist that it isn't. I cannot believe the heaps of praise this stuff gets. THis is the most shallow, unoriginal strip out there. You know what an imposible task is? Trying to explain to another person what Get Fuzzy is, who has never heard of Get Fuzzy, without them thinking of Garfield.
