🐾✨ @muttscomics.bsky.social creator Patrick McDonnell opens up about The Gift of Everything (out Oct 7), a heartwarming new tale of Mooch & Earl about gratitude, simplicity, and the magic of friendship. #comicbooks #comicsky Interview by @davidbrooke.bsky.social:

Thanks to our friends at @people.com for sharing about the release of "The Gift of Everything" and the 20th Anniversary Edition of "The Gift of Nothing." As Patrick told People, “Taken together, these two books celebrate that life’s real treasures are found in presence, not presents." Out now!

"Art reminds us of our higher selves." Patrick joined @comicbookyeti.com for a chat about artistic motivation, the Zen of cartooning, viewing the world with gratitude and wonder, and his new book "The Gift of Everything" (out 10/7, available for preorder now). www.comicbookyeti.com/post/patrick...

It’s your 75th anniversary, Charlie Brown! 💛⁠ ⁠ 🎉 Today marks the official 75th anniversary of Peanuts! On October 2, 1950, the first Peanuts comic strip, shown here, was published in seven newspapers nationwide. Charles M. Schulz was 27 years old.

In this heartfelt letter, Patrick McDonnell reflects on his friendship with Dr. Jane Goodall, which began with a simple MUTTS comic strip featuring his "animal activist" character Shtinky Puddin’. ❤️

We were heartbroken to learn of Dr. Jane Goodall's passing. She changed the way we understand animals and has inspired millions, including each of us on Team MUTTS. Thank you, Jane, for being a bright light, an incredible role model, and the embodiment of humanity's connection to the natural world.

Yesh! This fall and winter, Patrick McDonnell is going on tour to celebrate the release of his new picture book “The Gift of Everything.” (Out on 10/7 and available for preorder now!) If you’re able, we’d love for you to join us. More details here: mutts.com/blogs/news/p...
