Have you ever come across a new strip and immediately fell in love with it? Well that was definitely the case for me and Mutts! The adventures of a Dog and a Cat may seem tired and overdone, but these two are simply loveable! The dog is not an idtio and the cat is not a mini-dictator. They equally tease the other and their adventures together are somewhat reminiscent of a couple of close children/ buddies. Straightforward humor with an innocent (and sometimes naive) reaction by these two resulted in many giggling fits on my part :) A great strip and a great first compilation!
"Mutts" will never be a sentimental favorite of mine, but I like it quite a lot and respect the talent, both in art and writing that goes into it. It is the comic strip misadventures of Earl, a dog, and Mooch, a cat and his constant companion. The animals talk to each other but not their owners, by the way, which adds a rare and welcome bit of groundedness to this clever and funny strip.
