<blockquote>'''Deputy Fuzz''':
''Stop in the Law of the Name!''</blockquote>

'''Deputy Fuzz''' is one of the [[Prairie People]] and a sidekick of [[Marshal BraveStarr]] along with [[Thirty/Thirty]], [[Judge J.B. McBride]] and [[Handlebar]].




==Characteristics==
Fuzz is a pudgy little [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prairie_dog prairie dog]-like alien, one of the Prairie People, natives of [[New Texas]], who serves almost exclusively as comic relief. Fuzz was similar to other sidekick creatures in other series of the decade such as ''He-Man'''s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orko Orko] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snarf Snarf] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankin-Bass Rankin-Bass]'s ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThunderCats ThunderCats]''.

And he is also known as diligent, efficient, protective, understanding, trusting, social, friendly, unswerving, zany, zesty, dependable, even-tempered, polite, upbeat, thoughtful, benevolent, fearless, unconventional, zestful, zealous, determined, emotional, pragmatic, unselfish, tidy and civil.

His specialities, like all others of his kind, were digging, with even the miners of New Texas not coming close to the speed in which he moves through the ground, as well as high mechanical aptitude for building and repairing all manner of devices. BraveStarr affectionately calls him "l'il pardner". Fuzz seems to have trouble pronouncing [[Thirty/Thirty]]'s name, rendering it "Doody-Doody".

==History==
Fuzz is older than he appears to be. When his cousin [[Outlaw Scuzz|Scuzz]] struck a deal with a purple skinned prospector named [[Tex Hex]] to use the [[Prairie People]] as a slave work force, Fuzz was part of the workers. Tex had betrayed his mining partner [[Angus McBride]] and Fuzz took pity on the human and tried to release him from the ropes with which he had been tied. Fuzz also found a holographic recording of McBride's daughter, which fascinated the little Prairie person so much that he kept it for himself. Fuzz was unable to help McBride when the cliff he had been left on by Tex collapsed, causing him to tumble down and lose the ability to walk. But Fuzz did witness how the mystic [[Shaman]] came to Angus' aid.

20 years later Fuzz was still in posession of the holo-recording featuring a young [[Judge J.B. McBride|J.B. McBride]].

Then it appeared that two masked Prairie People kidnapped Judge J.B., and even BraveStarr used a slur against the Prairie People, but immediately apologised to Fuzz about it. Fuzz was present at the Prairie People Settlement when the posse of Prospectors came to attack, but BraveStarr and an escaped J.B. showed them proof that the Tex Hex was behind the kidnapping and had framed the native Prairie People.

==Reception==
In an otherwise glowing review of the television series by Mark Oakley of ''Den of Geek'', Deputy Fuzz is described as:

<center>"...the show’s über-annoying misfit, a kind of brown, furry dog with a voice not unlike [[wikipedia:Pee-wee Herman|Pee-wee Herman]]... ...I hated Fuzz then, and I hate him now. It’s only when revisiting this show for this article that I realise that of all the annoying, gimmicky creatures to beset children’s television, Fuzz is surely of Premier League class. He’s the [[wikipedia:Rob Schneider|Rob Schneider]] of the action cartoon world, which is by no means a compliment (have you seen [[wikipedia:Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo|''Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo'']], because I have and it’s really, really sh*t).<ref>https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/classic-geek-cartoons-revisited-bravestarr/</ref></center>
