This review is from: The Mutts: Little Big Book (Hardcover)

If you were a kid in the 1930s or the 1940s, you remember the famous Big Little Books. Lately they have been revived by George Lucas and some of the large comic book publishers. This is something different, much slimmer, printed in full color on glossy paper... and in many ways, a work of art.

The art is done apparently freehand in ink (w/o pencilling as a guide) and then colored in with colored pencils and pastel chalks. The story? There's no story, you just meet the main characters of the Mutts strip, Earl, Mooch, Sid, Crabby, Woofy, Guard Dog, etc. They give you some advice--- verbally or by example!--- and then we move on to the next. After my wife paged through it, she said, "What a lovely little book." And it is.

yesh! a cute little collection of new material made especially for this little book. as Mooch describes it, it's a 'Chickey Shnoodle Soup For The Soul'.

i hate using phrases like "a minimalist masterpiece" but how else can you descibe this great book from mcdonnell's fertile mind? to quote jules, or as his intimates know him, shtinky puddin': "i dunno."

if you are already a fan of the strip, this book is a must. he is the true successor to herriman!
