Books are fuel for the imagination. They offer laughs and smiles, and they open doors to new worlds and ideas. They can be read aloud in groups or enjoyed alone in comfortable silence. And as gifts, they’re easy to wrap, easy to send, and budget-friendly.

To honor the year-end season of giving and gratitude, we’ve gathered a few of our favorite festive MUTTS images and are offering 20% off Thanksgiving-themed comic strips throughout the entire month of November!

On November 1, 1998, Patrick McDonnell published the very first MUTTS “Shelter Stories” comic strip in honor of National Animal Shelter Awareness Week! Over the years we’ve received many messages from readers who said they were moved to adopt or volunteer as a result of this beloved series.
