Guy Gilchrist is a cartoonist who worked on the now-defunct The Muppets comic strip (which I remember reading as a kid) and several that are currently syndicated nationwide, including Nancy and Today’s Dogg. And who can resist a comic strip as adorable, funny and heartwarming as Today’s Dogg?
Today's Dogg by Guy Gilchrist
The Best of Today’s Dogg is a collection of one-panel cartoons that features doggs (with a double-G) and occasionally cats. Some are heartwarming and brought a tear to my eye (especially the one of a dog laying at his late master’s tombstone), while others made me laugh out loud (a dog and cat sitting next to each other both wearing “I’m with stupid” t-shirts.)
Other cartoons in the book touch on pop culture: the flooding in Nashville, baseball, NASCAR and a smidgen of religion. No matter the subject, all of the cartoons are drawn in extraordinary detail and accompanied by text that ranges from laugh-out-loud witty to thoughtful. I can only imagine the amount of time that goes into each one.
If you love your pets as much as I do, The Best of Today’s Dogg is a must-have!
The Best of Today’s Dogg is available at booksellers near you in May, 2011.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed the book. We both love those DOGGS…and I’m so glad that came through. 20% of all revenue goes to Adoption, Rescue and Humane Efforts at the grassroots level.
WOOF!!!
