Patrick McDonnell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1999

There's nothing like a buddy: Just ask Earl and Mooch, the adorable pets who inhabit the world of Mutts. The fact that Earl's a dog and Mooch is more of the feline persuasion makes about as much difference as a flea's eyebrow. These guys have a special friendship. Anyone who has a pet will see themselves and their beloved furry housemates in this collection, Mutts Sundays.

Yet Mutts has an audience appeal beyond pet lovers. McDonnell's art is unique in that it is reminiscent of the golden age of comic strips. That's why readers have clamored for a way to enjoy their favorite Mutts Sunday strips reprinted in their original color. In Mutts Sundays the call has been answered with a large, full-color format that--like the pair themselves--is certain to win a place in everyone's hearts. Readers will cherish escaping to the artful, colorful, and endearing Mutts Sundays strips contained in this special treasury.

This review is from: Mutts Sundays (Paperback)

Oh, those Mutts steal my heart everytime. This book, like the rest of McDonnell's "Mutts" books and calendars, is fantastic. The color is wonderful and bright, and having so many of the Sunday Mutts in one place is like having a little box of treasures to open when things get to be a bit too much. This book, more than McDonnell's other Mutts publications, reminded me of what a fine artist McDonnell is, and how grateful I am that he came along when he did with this winsome little dog and this charming little cat -- and all of their cohorts.

Thanks you, Patrick M. This book is a wonderful thing. It's a gem.

This review is from: Mutts Sundays (Paperback)

As a passionate Mutts fan from the beginning, I waited with great anticipation for this collection of Sunday comics. Read it closely; you'll find it's much more than just a comic strip...it's a gentle philosophy that sometimes touches on such topics as animal issues and pollution, all told in a soft, never strident way. But mostly, it's funny and fun you will have with the antics of Earl, Mooch and a whole cast of characters that will live in your heart forever! Take a look at some of the front pieces (before the actual strip) Some are parodies of famous art works. What a fabulous gift this would make for anyone who loves animals, art, nature and of course, humor. Please, Mr. McDonnell, keep us amused and inspired for many more years!
