This Is The Best Written Comic Strip In A Long Time

This book was great!!! It combines the cute and funny habits of animals not only Mooch and Earl. It points out their silly perception of humans. It's a funny interpretation of the animal mind. And It's funny.

All the Mutts are AWESOME

Mooch and Earl are well crafted pet like pets. Instead of being more human then pet. Earl and Mooch remain pets. They somewhat clueness is what makes Mutts funny and I enjoy reading it.

If more people knew about Mutts, sales of Prozac and Paxil would fall worldwide. It is a very funny (in a shweet way) look at the world from Mooch and Earl's perspective, which often makes more sense than ours. If I had to trade Mutts for the return of The Far Side, Outland/Bloom County and Calvin & Hobbes, I wouldn't do it, and those three were my favorite comics until Mutts came along. Patrick McDonnell is an amazing artist in a subtle way. Look at how much mood, and escpecially facial expression, can be expressed with how few lines. Dead dinosaurs of the Mary Worth genre have as much line work as the average $100 bill, and it's all flat and busy and conveys nothing. I think you have to follow the strip for a while, or go back to get the first book, to really get into the mindset of Mooch and Earl. Even though there are other characters, they, and especially the "peoples" are shown from the world view of Mooch and Earl. I've reread both books many times, and just got the recent ones. They are perfect antidotes for CNNitis (chronic inflamation of the cerebrum due to Bill & Monica, Bill & Newt, Netanyahu & Arafat, etc. saturation. It is ultimately fatal if untreated.) I can't wait for more...

Geniush!

Mutts is an absolute revalation. Cartoon art is alive and well as long as there is Mutts. Cats and Dogs: Mutts II is a book to read again and again. Or you could just sit and look at the pictures; it would be time well spent.
