"Mutts", normally a cute and funny animal strip, peaks with these lush and gorgeously colored Sunday strips that remind me of the Sunday pages of "Polly and her Pals" or "Gasoline Alley", albeit a totally different style. McDonnell really makes full use of the extra space, nostalgically employing a "splash panel" that is often as fine as the strip that follows. If McDonnell had created only these Sunday pages, his reputation would be safe in my book.
Its cute, but very repetious! Read one collection of cartoons by this author, you've read them all. I think my favorite cartoo is the cats are better than dogs Winter Dance!!
