Mutts Sunday Afternoons

Since 2004, Patrick McDonnell has been sharing his beloved Mutts characters in a larger, more contemplative Sunday-only format through Mutts Sunday Afternoons, published by Andrews McMeel. Known for its gentle humor and deep empathy for animals, the series expands on the daily strip’s quiet adventures of Earl the dog and Mooch the cat with full-page compositions that often celebrate nature, kindness, and the bond between pets and people. McDonnell’s warm, expressive linework and tender storytelling have made these Sunday pages a cherished, long-running highlight for readers of all ages.
