Earl & Mooch: A Mutts Treasury

Earl & Mooch: A Mutts Treasury collects the beloved, long-running newspaper strip Mutts into a single hardcover volume, gathering daily and Sunday strips featuring the gentle dog Earl and his feline pal Mooch. Published by Andrews McMeel in 2010, this treasury showcases the warm, deceptively simple artwork and quiet humor of creator Patrick McDonnell, whose work earned a Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year. It matters as a compact, accessible entry point into a strip celebrated for its tender observations of animal friendship and its subtle environmental advocacy.
