After having enjoyed the 1st compilation so much, I decided to go through book 3 sooner rather than later to see if the "magic" still held. The art is definitely cleaner and the relationship between Earl and Mooch deeper, but this collection wasn't as funny as the first. Still a lot of giggles, though, which makes it worth owning.
The third collection of the clever and charming "Mutts", an original and funny talking animals strip, although they don't talk to humans, which I can appreciate. Not a generic comic at all, it deserves to be liked more than I like it.
Rated "Good" in our old book database by Rod and Adelia
I love Mutts, especially the earlier strips.
Sempre fabulosos!
