Rating:  Summary: Great for all ages. Review: This is a comic that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. The puns are actually amusing, rather than tedious. McDonnell has created a warm and wonderful world within Mutts. Its simple humor and likeable characters should appeal to anyone who is tired of today's "high tech" (or whatever) comics.

Rating:  Summary: fantastic!!!! Review: Earl and Mooch are just adorable! Move over Garfield and Odie! It educates people on so many subjects, such as pet overpopulation. fur coats etc. I never get tired of reading Mc Donnell's books, and I bet everybody would love to have an Earl and a Mooch as pets.Great job Patrick, keep up the good work.
Rating:  Summary: McDonnell & 'Mutts' Uphold A Noble Tradition Review: Fans of classic newspaper strips, and of comics-based narrative, know what I'm saying here. MUTTS is the best thing to happen to the funny pages since that kid with the stuffed tiger. Many have called him our new Herrimann, but, despite having a cat in the strip, I think that's misleading: McDonnell is our new Cliff ('Polly and Her Pals') Sterrett. He shares so many of Sterrett's strengths and tendencies it's scary. Buy this book and help keep the dying lost art of the syndicated strip alive another day!
Rating:  Summary: Why, yesh, this is shwonderful! Review: Gentle, cute, amusing, and charming... get this book and talk your local paper into running this strip! One of the many things I like about this strip is that the cat and dog act like a cat and dog (of course, not the talking part!) Earl is a devoted puppy, and Mooch is a get-into-trouble kitty!
Rating:  Summary: Mutts not a mutt! Review: Having occassionally read this strip in a newspaper I don't regularly purchase, I knew I wanted to see more of it, and so I ordered the first collection. Believe me, I'm ordering ALL the collections! This is a whimsical bit of fun, featuring, especially, a cat that brings back memories of two other wacky felines, Mehitabel and Krazy Kat. At times, I grinned. At times, I grinned with empathy. At times, I laughed out loud. If you like dogs, or love cats, or both, or just enjoy a good laugh, I heartily recommend this book...and the others in the series that I WILL be ordering!
Rating:  Summary: BUY THIS BOOK!!! FUNNY, SERIOUS, SAD, HAPPY, WARM AND GREAT! Review: Hi, this is one of the best books I ever bought. IT has every quality people look for in a humerous book like this! I just bought the 2 MUTTS!! I can't wait to recieve and READ!!! 2 thumbs up. If your looking for a book to warm your heart, THIS is the one. :+)
Rating:  Summary: EXCELLENT Review: I am an avid fan of Earl and MOochie, their humor and anitics can be enjoyed by both adults and children. Mutts II was the best investment! :) ISLANDGIRL
Rating:  Summary: Quality has declined... Review: I have become greatly dissapointed McDonell's work in recent years. In the first couple of collections, Mutts was right on target, witty and fresh, but now it seems that Mutts has become preachy, and cloyingly sweet. Most of us already have helpless guilt from reading newspaper articles on vanishing tigers, do we really need it in a comic strip? Even the artwork seems lacking, as if McDonell was late for a deadline and did a rush job. The Mutts creator definitely needs new ideas.
Rating:  Summary: Who could go wrong buying this book? Review: I loved it so much I bought ALL of Patrick McDonnell's other books and an extra for my dad, who also likes comics. McDonnell has a true gift in capturing innocence through an animal's eyes, and draws out in us that parental mushy feeling that we pet lovers are all too familiar with. He consistently delivers chuckles page after page and seemingly never runs out of ideas. I am also in great admiration of the man who dedicates his art to reminding this busy planet that animals are people too and they need a good home and lots 'o love just like we do. He well deserves the many awards he's received for his work.
