Encyclopedia > Fungo Squiggly

Fungo Squiggly is an anthromorphic ferret in Darby Conley's comic strip Get Fuzzy. Anthropomorphism, also referred to as personification or prosopopeia, is the attribution of human characteristics to inanimate objects, animals, forces of nature, and others. ... Trinomial name Mustela putorius furo (Linnaeus, 1758) This article is about the mammal. ... Darby Conley Darby Conley is an American cartoonist best known for the popular comic strip Get Fuzzy. ... This article is about the comic strip, the sequential art form as published in newspapers and on the Internet. ... Bucky Katt Get Fuzzy is an American daily comic strip written and drawn by Darby Conley. ...


When a new family moved into the apartment next door to Rob Wilco, they introduced Fungo as their pet. The amiable Satchel Pooch made friends with the newcomer easily, but Bucky Katt immediately regarded him as a mortal enemy. Although he whispers in Satchel's ear on occasion, Fungo does not speak audibly in the strip. Robert Wilco is a fictional character in Darby Conleys comic strip Get Fuzzy. ... Satchel Pooch is a fictional character in Darby Conleys comic strip Get Fuzzy. ... Bucky Katt Bucky B. Katt is a fictional character in the Darby Conleys comic strip Get Fuzzy. ...


Bucky's attempts to defeat and/or humiliate Fungo almost invariably backfire rather badly. For example, Bucky once tried to trap the ferret in a crude snare. Fungo yanked on the rope, causing Bucky to smack into a wall and lose two teeth: his trademark cuspid and a smaller tooth. To add insult to injury, Fungo wears the smaller tooth on a necklace. (Bucky's "fang" was reattached at great expense, and a gold tooth inserted to replace the other.) Other plots have had similarly unintended consequences, such as Fungo's kidnapping of Bucky's beloved toy Smacky (twice). One memorably misguided attempt involved Bucky throwing a baseball at a ferret he took to be Fungo; the ball struck Fungo's mother and knocked her down a laundry chute. Another instance was when Bucky destroyed a large portion of a wall in an attempt to get Fungo once and for all. However, all that Bucky got was a chunk of plaster to the head. In oral anatomy, the canine teeth, also called cuspids, dogteeth, fangs, or (in the case of those of the upper jaw) eye teeth, are relatively long, pointed teeth, evolved (and used, in most species where they remain prominent) primarily for firmly holding food in order to tear it apart, and...


No explanation is ever given for Bucky's intense hatred for Fungo. Bucky may mistake the mustelid for some sort of rodent, or the enmity may be as inexplicable as his desire to consume a monkey. Perhaps it is simply another by-product of Bucky's boundless hostility towards the world in general. In any case, many (but not all) of Fungo's aggressions toward Bucky are simply reactions to the cat's attempted assaults, as Fungo does not seem to go looking for trouble. Subfamilies Lutrinae Melinae Mellivorinae Taxidiinae Mustelinae Mustelidae is a family of carnivorous mammals. ...
