Mutts, created and drawn by Patrick McDonnell, follows the lives and thoughts of fellow pets Earl the dog and Mooch the cat, their owners, and a variety of animal friends.
Patrick McDonnell has always been a strong supporter of Schulz and Peanuts. He's appeared at the Charles M. Schulz Museum several times, curated an exhibit for the Museum, and in 2000 organized a "Peanuts tribute day" among fellow newspaper cartoonists to commemorate 50 years of the Peanuts comic strip. Charles Schulz was likewise known to be a fan of McDonnell's work on Mutts; in his foreword for the first Mutts strip collection, he said "Mutts is exactly what a comic strip should be."
So be sure to check out Mutts every day next week - if your newspaper doesn't carry the comic, you can read it online at selected newspaper websites (those that use "Comics Kingdom" for their online comics), or at the official Mutts website.
Loved it! Huge Peanuts fan & truly love Mutts!
