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!

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.

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!

I was glued to the book, reading it from beginning to end in one hilarious sitting. Poncho and friends diabolical plans to rid his house of the evil cat invaders were hysterical! Paul Gilligan needs to write another Pooch Cafe book!! We need more...MORE!

Poncho is a dog's dog. He daydreams of meat, stuffs himself with kibble, and hangs out at the Pooch Cafe where dogs can be dogs and "cat" is a four-letter word. (Plus, he loves Jackie Chan and hates mushrooms -- a dog after my own heart!) I had never read the Pooch Cafe comics before purchasing this book, but was attracted by the subject matter and the artwork, which is both cool and quirky. The humor is subtle and smart. Whatever you're a dog person, a fan of comics, or both, Paul Gilligan has produced a very stylish work that is worth adding to your collection.

Poncho may be one of the funniest comic strips characters ever. I had never seen this strip, but I picked up a copy of the book by chance.

Well, let us just say that I want to see this strip everyday! Why isn't this in every newspaper?

Why only two books so far? As of this date, I'm still eagerly awaiting a third & fourth collection of Gilligan's daily strip: Pooch Cafe.
I'm pretty sure he's been cranking them out for two years since "No Collar, No Service" but where's the book?
Pooch Cafe is fresh, witty and well-drawn with just the right amount of detail. It's a strip you can fall in love with, much like Calvin & Hobbes. The way the various dogs think and act like dogs while still being cynical, English-speaking characters is hilarious.
Bring us more books!

pooch cafe is by far the funniest comic i have even read. its better than garfield and calvin&hobbes
