Patrick McDonnell’s Mutts comic strip characters will be seen taking on the White House puppy hunt all next week, according to a press release. It’s an unusually topical subject for the wonderfully whimsical strip, but McDonnell is a longtime animal welfare advocate, winning three Genesis Awards from The Humane Society of the United States. Twice a year during the past decade, he has created a special Mutts “Shelter Series” storyline lauding the efforts of the animal shelter staff and volunteers.
You can read Mutts online here, here, or even here, as part of King Features’s recent “Comics Kingdom” program.

Mutts is one of the best strips being published. His “quotations” of famous graphic designs on his Sunday strips are delightful, the philosophy thought provoking, and even the recurring gags are never stale. He’s won the Reuben and five Harvey Awards, among many others, and he’s a nice guy!
