Volume 6 - 1st printing. "A Little Looksee!" By Patrick McDonnell. The fun and mischievous daily adventures of head mutt Earl and his kitty chum, Mooch, take center stage in A Little Look-See. The two share their charming perspectives through conversations they have when "their peoples" are not around. In A Little Look-See, you learn through Earl and Mooch that yes, animals do practice those irresistible expressions that melt hearts, and witness a not-so-dignified debate over the age-old question of who is cuter: dogs or cats? The creative style and classic charm of Mutts continues to earn McDonnell the admiration of loyal readers, prominent national organizations, and fellow cartoonists, as well as frequent comparisons to cartoon-strip greats such as Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbs.
