Dogs Dogs Dogs: A Collection of Great Dog Cartoons

Here is a collection of over 150 cartoons, both classic and contemporary, paying tribute to our ever-faithful canine companions. Gathered together in one hysterically funny volume are all kinds of dogs doing what they do best--barking, fetching, playing, and snoozing, as well as joining in lots of crazy antics they probably shouldn't be caught doing at all. You'll meet acting dogs, sleep-walking dogs, job hunting dogs, driving dogs, and talking dogs. You'll see man's best friend in the after-life, on a computer, in prison, at a bar, and in therapy. Some of the dogs look suspiciously like their masters--complete with attendant neuroses and idiosyncrasies.

Over 70 artists have contributed their best material to Dogs, Dogs, Dogs--including such well-known cartoonists as Charles Addams, Charles Barsotti, George Booth, Barney Tobey, Gahan Wilson, Jack Ziegler, and, of course, Sam Gross--from such diverse magazines as The New Yorker. Good Housekeeping, and National Lampoon. For dog owners and dog lovers everywhere, Dogs, Dogs, Dogs is an absolute tail-wagger.

It is difficult to get past even the first page of Dogs Dogs Dogs without laughing out loud. Dog lovers, cartoon lovers, even cat lovers will not be disappointed. There's a dog for every taste, from pit bulls and mangy mutts to St. Bernards and poodles. Gross has assembled a hilarious batch of more than 300 cartoons by the finest: George Booth, Charles Saxon, Gahan Wilson, Charles Addams, Joseph Farris, a multiude of others, and, of course, Gross, himself. There's even an index to help readers quickly locate their favorite artists. Some of the selections are reprints; some appear for the first time in this book.
