Ein "Best of" eines täglichen Comicstrips, der die Welt aus der Sicht von einer Katze und einem Hund zeigt, die miteinander befreundet sind und gemeinsam durch dick und dünn gehen. Zum Teil schon fast philosophisch, humorvoll und liebenswert. Immer wieder wird auf Tierschutzthemen und die Lage von Tieren in Tierheimen hingewiesen. ( )

Mutts is likely the only worthwhile strip running in daily newspaper comics sections these days, so a tenth-anniversary collection like this is worthy of some attention. Patrick McDonnell has successfully found a happy middle ground between overt cuteness and something much deeper, often tending towards the sort of zen repose that made predecessors such as Herriman's Krazy Kat so worthwhile. The strongest part of Mutts has always been the inventive Sunday pages, which often begin with splash panels inspired by great visual artists of the past. This collection includes a healthy selection of the Sunday pages, and many daily strips besides, and it all adds up to a comprehensive overview of an important piece of the modern comics landscape.
