5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime., June 3, 2003

By	Mr. John Swaine (Colchester UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Pooch Cafe remains one of the most genuine comics available today in our papers and one of the funniest.

The most heartening thing about the strip is that Poncho knows what he's doing when he's drinking out of the toilet, or doing all the other things that a dog does and yet he can't help it. Because its in his nature. He is a dog and unlike make strips in which Cartoon dogs become mini-humans, Pooch Cafe retains the basic spirit and nature of the characters it protrays, letting each part stay true to itself.

It is lovingly illustrated and ultimately it has soul - a rarity in syndicated strips today.

A superb buy! Watch out for this man!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious stuff!, May 16, 2003

By	Lar (Acton, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

I've been a fan of Pooch Cafe since I saw it in my local newspaper over a year ago. Poncho and company are a consistently funny part of my day and I'm thrilled to see him finally in book form for me to enjoy even more.

Mr. Gilligan's illustrative training reminds me of Bill Watterson's work; really great artwork combined with hilarious writing. A lot of comic strips fall flat once in awhile, but I've never been disappointed by Pooch Cafe! This is a great compilation for pet owners and comic fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Chihuahua!, November 26, 2003

Actually, I'm not sure what kind of pooch Poncho is but he is without a doubt the greatest cartoon character since Calvin.

This book is loaded with great writing, unique art and the funniest punchlines since Larson.

Grab this collection -- it's a winner!
