Sometimes you've just got to run around like a lunatic and wreak havoc for a few minutes, and when Mooch the cat gets those wild eyes, anything can happen. In this annual treasury, he and his dog pal Earl go to the beach for a vacation, welcome back new and old friends, and show us the rewards of loving an animal—with special strips that touch on spaying, adoption, and endangered species. You get 365 days of syndicated Mutts strips—including Sundays in color—along with special artwork and author sketches. Winning the Harvey Award eight times since 1994, as well as humanitarian awards for his "Shelter Stories" special strips, Patrick McDonnell's sweetly humorous Mutts "is exactly what a comic strip should be" (Charles Schulz).
