They Moved My Bowl: Dog Cartoons by New Yorker Cartoonist Charles Barsotti

About this book

This is the first and long-overdue book of Charles Barsottis dog cartoons. Barsottis distinctive round pups rendered in just a few simple lines have been delighting The New Yorker readers for three decades and are instantly recognizable for their depiction of canines in human roles. The juxtaposition of their simple world consisting only of food play and the goings-on of their owners with the utterly human tasks of going to therapy talking business or seeing a lawyer is both adorable and hilarious. A dog standing at a podium announces "If elected I promise to beg fetch and roll over." An older dog frowns down at a young pup and says "Dont be smug all puppies are cute." An angry dog with brush in hand paints a "BEWARE OF DOG" sign. With an irresistible blend of biting humor and affectionate observation this is a perfect gift book for dog lovers everywhere.
