The Mutts characters make a better world for all of us to live in.
Description:Created by artist Patrick McDonnell in 1994, the strip centers on the relationship between Mooch, a cat, and his best friend and neighbor Earl, a dog. Their friendship focuses on the differences between cats and dogs as pets: Earl is friendly, loves the company of his human companion and loves to play outside; Mooch is often indifferent to his human companions, except for being fed, and prefers to stay inside and play by himself. The strip shows how pets look at the world as well as at their relationship with their masters and the human condition in general.
