This is the first, and long-overdue, book of Charles Barsotti's dog cartoons. Barsotti's distinctive round pups, rendered in just a few simple lines, have been delighting The New Yorker readers for three decades and are instantly recognizable for their depiction of canines in human roles. The juxtaposition of their simple world, consisting only of food, play, and the goings-on of their owners, with the utterly human tasks of going to therapy, talking business, or seeing a lawyer, is both adorable and hilarious. A dog standing at a podium announces, "If elected, I promise to beg, fetch, and roll over." An older dog frowns down at a young pup and says, "Don't be smug, all puppies are cute." An angry dog with brush in hand paints a "BEWARE OF DOG" sign. With an irresistible blend of biting humor and affectionate observation, this is a perfect gift book for dog lovers everywhere.

Another Barsotti Gem,
By
This review is from: They Moved My Bowl: Dog Cartoons by New Yorker Cartoonist Charles Barsotti (Hardcover)
There's no kinder commentary on human/canine society than Barsotti's funny take on people as pups/pups as people. This is not just for dog lovers, it's a great gift or bedside pal for the down-in-the-mouth, stressed-out crankypants who needs to connect with his/her inner pooch. Would that be you? How do you beat a dog judge commenting to a doggy defendant, "As unbelievable as it may seem to you today, this court was once a puppy too." If you haven't collected Charley's works, start now! Add some grins to your goofball world.

Who doesn't love puppies, for corn's sake?!?,

This review is from: They Moved My Bowl: Dog Cartoons by New Yorker Cartoonist Charles Barsotti (Hardcover)
I've always loved Barsotti; his intelligence, drier-than-dust humor, razor-sharp wit and economy with line is unmatched, in my opinion. But there's a special, perfect innocence to his Pup cartoons, a sweetness that always elicits an "awww" rather than "ergh." This collection is long overdue.

Wonderful and too short!,
This review is from: They Moved My Bowl: Dog Cartoons by New Yorker Cartoonist Charles Barsotti (Hardcover)
I just love this. Mr. Barsotti's drawing are spare and simple and yet convey a range of emotion, both comical and not. I'm thinking of buying this book as a gift for several other dog lovers. I just wish it were longer.
