If I asked if you know the little pink sock song, would you know what in tarnation I'm talking about?
Why, the comic strip Mutts of course. Do you know it? Do you love it as much as I do?
Patrick McDonnell writes this strip and he is a man who is full of heart and who has a gargantuan love of animals. If you read it regularly, you know of which I speak. If you don't, well geeze, you just must. You really must.
His characters are wonderful. They range from dogs to cats to crabby crabs to butchers to my favorite, Guard Dog. He wrenches my heart constantly. Such a good boy, such a softie, placed in an unfair but all too realistic situation.
Patrick McDonnell does not shy away from the realities of the animal world. Somehow though, he puts it in your face without shoving it down your throat. From puppy mills to the plight of shelter animals, he's got it covered. Or maybe I should say the animals have it covered, for they are the ones who tell their tales.
He has several books out and his website is marvuloso. Go now. Yesh, yesh yesh.
