A MUTTS Treasury

Patrick McDonnell’s MUTTS is up there with Peanuts, Pogo, Krazy Kat, and Calvin and Hobbes-cartoons that are smart and funny, brilliantly drawn and full of heart.” -Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons

Commenting on McDonnell’s award-winning strip, Charles Schulz proclaimed, “To me, MUTTS is exactly what a comic strip should be.”

In MUTTS, Patrick McDonnell strikes a delicate balance between lighthearted fun and responsible social commentary through the exploits of Earl the dog and Mooch the cat-now chronicled in their 16th book collection.

* Earl and Mooch, along with supporting sidekicks Shtinky Puddin’, Sourpuss, Guard Dog, and Crabby, humorously approach a range of subjects-from napping and daydreaming to summer vacations and Christmas anticipations-in addition to tackling important issues like responsible pet ownership, animal shelters, and saving our endangered species.
