Man's best friend is at it again. Whether it's Earl's loving companionship or the fact that Mooch can never say "no" to a meal, pet owners everywhere have been identifying with the antics of the MUTTS comic strip gang for over 14 years.
"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
Shweeter than ever, Patrick McDonnell's treasury collection of memorable MUTTS will melt your heart and drive you wild! In McDonnell's seventeenth compilation Call of the Wild (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $16.99), long-time friends and neighbors Earl the dog and Mooch the cat, along with Shtinky Puddin, Guard Dog, Crabby, and Sourpuss will make you hooowl with laughter! Each strip is full of fun, while teaching lessons about friendship, love, and the bond we share with our pets.
