About the author
Darby Conley
47 books152 followersDarby Conley is an American cartoonist best known for the popular comic strip Get Fuzzy.
Conley was born in Concord, Massachusetts in 1970, and grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee.
While in high school in 1986, he won a student cartooning competition. During his Senior Year at Doyle High School (now South-Doyle High School) in Knoxville, Conley was voted 'Most Talented' by his graduating class. He attended Amherst College, where he studied Fine Arts, drew cartoons for the student newspaper, played rugby, and was a member of an all-male, jazz-influenced a cappella group, the Zumbyes. (Fellow cartoonist alumni of Amherst include FoxTrot creator Bill Amend and the late John Cullen Murphy of Prince Valiant fame.)
Like Rob Wilco, the human protagonist in Get Fuzzy, Conley is an enthusiastic rugby union fan, playing during college and sustaining several injuries that failed to diminish his passion for the sport.
Before becoming a cartoonist, Conley held a wide array of jobs: elementary school teacher, art director for a science museum, lifeguard, and bicycle repairman. This eclectic collection of professions is reminiscent of those held by Douglas Adams, whom Conley has mentioned as a comedic influence.
Conley, an animal rights activist and vegetarian, lives in Boston.

An enjoyable read. Mayby written for a younger audience as the storyline isn't too original.
But I loved the characters, and really enjoy the authors easygoing style.

To Make a Killing
Conley writes a great story about a Sheriff, Go By Rider, who was elected to his position as a result of his war record in the civil war. What's interesting, is this is an analogy of a murder, planned, and executed by one man to whom the plan was flawless. But like most criminals, when a logical detective gets involved, the truth wins out. This one will have you guessing as you're still turning the pages.
