Product Description

The fun and mischievous daily adventures of head mutt Earl and his kitty chum, Mooch, again take center stage in Patrick McDonnell's sixth Mutts collection, A Little Look-See. The two share their charming perspectives through conversations they have when "their peoples" are not around. In A Little Look-See, we learn through Earl and Mooch that yes, animals do practice those irresistible expressions that melt our hearts, and we witness a not-so-dignified debate over the age-old question of who is cuter: dogs or cats? The creative style and classic charm of Mutts continues to ear McDonnell the admiration of loyal readers, prominent national organizations, and fellow cartoonists, as well as frequent comparisons to cartoon-strip greats such as Peanuts and Calvin And Hobbes. In 2000, McDonnell received the NCS's highest honor, the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year for 1999. Take A Little Look-See at the spectacular world of Mutts.

Customer Reviews

Yesh please
Mutts is cute, funny, warm, and every character is a sympathetic one, even Crabby and the guard dog. And of course, the "shelter stories" are guaranteed to touch the stoniest of hearts. In years to come, we will look back and say "How lucky we were, to have a fresh 'Mutts' strip in the papers every morning!" This book's only shortcoming is the presentation of the Sunday strips, which is why I'm glad that the Sunday collections are so beautifuly done.

A lovable gang of "Mutts"
Patrick McDonnell's "Mutts" comic strip is quite an achievement: it's sweet without being cloying, heartwarming without being manipulative, and nostalgic yet always original. His simple yet eloquent artwork achieves a range of emotions; he may be today's most economical cartoonist. Even more remarkably, he earns laughs without resorting to the gross-out humour so prevalent in today's comic world.

Twice a year, McDonnell features a week of "Shelter Stories." They're bittersweet and sometimes heartbreaking, and serve as an invaluable public service.

I never tire of the adventures of Earl and Mooch. Of course, it helps to be a dog owner and animal lover! But I can't imagine anyone not being won over by McDonnell's lovable gang of "Mutts."

Highly recommended
Patrick McDonnell continues to do great work. Highly recommended to all.
