Nobody ever had friends like Bucky Katt or Satchel Pooch, the cat and dog from the immensely popular comic strip Get Fuzzy. And in their new gift book, A Friend Is...they help to redefine--maybe even ruin--the very concept of friendship itself.

Together, this duo--two of the most popular characters in comic strips today--plumb the depths of their relationship. By giving us this no-paws-barred peek into their lives, they offer us the opportunity to see what's right (and wrong) in our own lives. The result is a smart and spirited book that reminds us that while friendship sometimes isn't pretty, it's always funny.
