    Volume 1 - 1st printing. "1994–1996!" Story and art by Patrick McDonnell. From Patrick McDonnell, author and artist of MUTTS and the national bestseller Breaking the Chain: The Guard Dog Story, comes the first in a series of the complete MUTTS Sunday comic strips, starting from the very beginning. Created by Patrick McDonnell in 1994, MUTTS follows the heartwarming adventures of Earl the dog, Mooch the cat, and an endearing cast of animal and human pals. It has captured the hearts of millions, garnering international recognition for its gentle humor and powerful themes of kindness, compassion, and friendship. Sunday Funnies is the first-ever collection of the Sunday MUTTS comic strip that are complete, in color, and reprinted one per page and in chronological order. Included are all of the full-color title panels (which many newspapers drop for space constraints), along with a "Title Panel Tribute Guide" by McDonnell at the back of each volume, in which he shares his sources of inspiration for the first time. Also included is an all-new preface by McDonnell. This first volume of Sunday Funnies reprints comic strips from 1994–96 and is the perfect gift for MUTTS fans new and old. Hardcover, 11 1/2-in. x 5-in., 144 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.

    Amazing art! Delightful reading! says Buddy Saunders, Lone Star Comics owner. THE SUNDAY FUNNIES Vol. 1 recaptures in full color the magic of Sunday comic sections when they were a full 16"x22" and each strip occupied a full page. On eBay full-size Sunday page sections sell for $10 or more each, but Sunday Funnies brings you 96 pages for just 31c per page! A deal this good is hard to find anywhere! This 96-page section, in three newspaper-style 32-page sections, all 16-in. x 22-in., is printed on a newspaper press on 60 pound offset stock for maximum clarity and longevity. The first issue contains the first 30 GASOLINE ALLEY Sunday pages (1920-1921), the first few months of ALLEY OOP Sundays (1934) and BRONC PEELER Sundays (1934), plus extra pages like KRAZY KAT (1922), STUMBLE INN by Herriman, WEE WILLIE WINKIE, RIGHT AROUND HOME full pages, and others. At 31 cents per page, access to these otherwise impossible to find classics of story and art are now affordable to all. Here's your chance to read and enjoy the greatest of the early comic strips just the way past generations enjoyed them. Read this first volume of SUNDAY FUNNIES and you'll understand why the comic section was the FIRST newspaper section readers went to each morning! Future 96-page volumes will include Gasoline Alley, Little Nemo, Polly and Her Pals, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Alley Oop, Tarzan, Terry and the Pirates, and many, many more historic Sunday pages, presented in the format that they were originally intended for.
