Who Let the Cat Out?: Mutts X -- Patrick McDonnell

<p><i>MUTTS</i> is impossibly large. Its subject is the world, all living beings in it, and their relationship with each other. . . . Its touch is incredibly light and gentle, which explains how it alights in your mind and rests there. . . . The way that McDonnell's stories oscillate between gentle comedy and understated pathos is the strip's greatest strength.""-Christopher Brayshaw, <i>Vancouver Review</i></p><p> Animal lovers everywhere adore Patrick McDonnell's charming but pointed <i>MUTTS</i>.
