"THE GIFT OF NOTHING" BY PATRICK McDONNELL "Patrick McDonnell’s beloved comic strip, MUTTS, has appeared in over 700 newspapers across 20 countries for over 25 years. MUTTS has received numerous awards both for its artistic excellence and for its animal and environmental protection themes. Charles Schulz called it “One of the best comics strips of all time.” Charles Schultz and Patrick were close friends and admirers of the talents of each other. McDonnell's comic strip, MUTTS, is one of my favorites. from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutts_(comic_strip)
