☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Just a Pooch Named Hot Dog," Jughead's pal Hot Dog takes a cosmic detour, realizing space isn't quite his scene—so he asks to go home. Grateful for his help, the Astro-Mutts upgrade his doghouse with high-tech gadgets and even a robot butler. Written and illustrated by Nate Butler, with cover art by Nate Butler, this 1990 gem blends whimsy and sci-fi charm in a lighthearted adventure that’s as much about homecoming as it is about outer space.
In "Home, Strange Home," Jughead and Dilton go all out building a high-tech doghouse for Hot Dog after his mom bans him from the house, complete with gadgets and creature comforts—but Hot Dog just stares at it, unimpressed. The story captures the quiet tension of loyalty and belonging, with Jo and the gang caught in the middle of a small but meaningful shift in their usual rhythm.
In "The Mousers of the Universe, Part 1," Hot Dog trades his grumbling over a new doghouse for a wild ride with the Astro-Mutts, joining their interstellar mission to stop the Galacti-Cats and their sinister ally, Drak Batfang. With stars and sci-fi chaos ahead, this five-page adventure kicks off with a furry twist on cosmic conquest.
In "There's No Place (in Outer Space) Like Home, Part 2," Hot Dog, after a whirlwind of cosmic mishaps, realizes space isn’t his scene and asks to return to Earth. In thanks for his bravery, the Astro-Mutts transform his doghouse into a high-tech haven, complete with futuristic gadgets and a robotic butler.
