The reason I love Mutts so much is that Patrick McDonnell does with his comics what I would do if I had artistic talent. His love for all animals screams from these sweet and funny pages. The jokes are never cruel, they're always gentle and while you may not cackle, you will definitely smile.

The Mutts talk to their animals friends in their language, dream of Africa, and attempt to turn into butterflies. So much sweetness crammed into these volumes, I don't know how anyone couldn't fall in love with this shmotley crew.

I had braced myself for the Shelter Stories, but I was not prepared for the chained up guard dog being shown kindness by the little girl. That one punched me hard in the heart strings.

Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

'The Mutts Spring Diaries' by Patrick McDonnell is the 4th book in this fun series.

Earl and Mooch are happy that it's Spring. The cartoons in this collection are all about Spring (for the most part). There are gags about the birds returning, Earl's obsession with fetching when Mooch finds a ball, and the chained up dog in the yard in the neighborhood. Birds singing in the trees gets a series, until Mooch shows up to try his hand at it.

The cartoons are well drawn, and the characters are pretty likeable. This is a good collection for anyone who likes dogs and cats, and would be nice read for younger cartoon fans.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I love it when the characters (Earl and Mooch) get along with one together; unlike Tom and Jerry, where they are always trying to hurt one another.

This is my first ‘The Mutts’ and will definitely look out for more.

Mutts is one of my all time favorite comics and this didn't disappoint. Mooch, Earl, and the rest of the characters jump right into your heart - little pink socks and all!

I got this from netgalley from read-now section. It was okay, I have never read Mutts comics before but clearly it's not for me - though I love pets. I have both cat and dog back at home but I didn't like this as much as I wanted to.

The copy I have received, was bit blurred and it took ages to turn pages in my kindle. Now I know other comics work fast so it must be problem with this only. Nothing to do with comics but I found that it took longer to turn pages than reading the column. It was annoying...

The cornball humor is great. The pets are unique and wonderful. I really loved the shelter stories too.

Spring is here (at least in the Mutts universe)! The birds are back and even the turtles. Easter is just around the corner and there are lots of bunnies to ask about eggs. Of course, there are also spring showers to contend with. Earl and Mooch also meet a caterpillar and hang out waiting for him to turn into a butterfly. A series of animal sounds puns ensue and the various animals take their turns trying to write their own comics.
Regular Mutts readers will not be disappointed.

Mooch and Earl are cute companions, as ever. I am a bit more interested in the songbirds, though, and their various choices. Some cute jokes, some that my dad would love, and overall a nice familiar jaunt through spring with some familiar faces.
