Enjoy the fun & laughs with everyone’s favorite Jack Russell & tuxedo cat pals, along with all their friends, in this comic strip treasury.
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.
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.
