Patrick McDonnell: Three Mutts Souvenirs

Stephen Kroninger sends along three drawings by Mutts cartoonist Patrick McDonnell. The souvenir sketches of Earl (the dog) and Mooch (the cat) were created for Stephen's twin daughters when they were very young. It seems to me these can work their magic for people of any age.

Note: My thanks once again to Stephen Kroninger for scanning this wonderful art. This is Stephen's thirty-first contribution to the blog

Mutts fans with souvenir drawings of their own are welcome to contribute images to this blog.

Hey Dudes: Happy Inauguration from Maurice Sendak

Hey, Dudes!
From current eBay listings, here are two examples of illustrator Maurice Sendak's Happy Inauguration print which personally welcomed Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton to Washington in 1993. Their cat Socks is there too. The First Family is shown with the Capitol Building. They are joined by characters from Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, Really Rosie, and We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy.
