“Patrick McDonnell’s book is a singular work of art, a giddy, gorgeous treasure, which I will wear out studying and learning from.”

Patrick McDonnell is a compassionate champion for all animals, particularly dogs and cats, and through his comic strip, <i>Mutts</i>, he captures magically the personalities of some of our best friends.

Patrick McDonnell's <i>Mutts</i> is up there with <i>Peanuts</i>, <i>Pogo</i>, <i>Krazy Kat</i>, and <i>Calvin and Hobbes</i>—cartoons that are smart, funny, brilliantly drawn, and full of heart.

One of the best comic strips of all time.
