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.*This book may have remainder mark*
