Mush!: Sled Dogs with Issues by Glenn Eichler

4.0

A fun silly yet also serious graphic novel about sled dogs in the snowy wilderness, told from the point of view of the dogs (so they can't understand anything their humans say to them, and in fact they talk pityingly among themselves about the humans, as if they are the unevolved animals and the dogs are the superior creatures). The lead dog is tired of being the lead dog and having the responsibility; one of the male dogs is constantly flirting and trying to get the female dog to mate with him; one dog is very philosophical about life; another dog is on a power trip and wants to challenge the lead dog for the position, and they have to do it by fighting but he's sneaky and is trying to trick another dog into doing his fighting for him. There's basically inter-office politics among the team, and gender rivalries, and so on; they're very human-like in their canineness, if that makes sense. The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars was the art, which was sometimes confusing--the individual dogs were sometimes hard to tell apart.
