Patrick McDonnell: Original Mutts Comic Strip Art

How often does one see original Mutts comic strip art by Patrick McDonnell? For me this is a first.The original published strip of May 8, 2004 was dedicated by McDonnell to the family of Stephen Kroninger, who shares the scan with us. The original is overlaid with Ben Day dots to indicate shading. Of the four spoken works, two have been corrected with a small paste-up resulting in the perfect punch line.

Note:  Thanks to Stephen Kroninger for providing a scan of the original art. This is Stephen's thirtieth contribution to the blog

Interested Mutts fans can purchase their very own print of this strip here. I'm no interior decorator, but it would look great in the bathroom.
