Timed for the 25th anniversary of the comic strip Mutts, The Art of Nothing celebrates the work of author and illustrator Patrick McDonnell
Mooch, the curious cat, and Earl, the ever-trusting dog, are just two of the characters who inhabit the world of Mutts. In The Art of Nothing: 25 Years of Mutts and the Art of Patrick McDonnell,
the award-winning author and illustrator's beloved comic strip is
celebrated as well as his bestselling children's classics, including Me . . . Jane, The Gift of Nothing, South, Just Like Heaven, Hug Time, and Wag!,
all shot from the original art. Also included are rare and
never-before-seen artwork, proposals, outtakes, and developmental work,
along with autobiographical commentary, a brand-new, career-spanning
interview conducted by artist Lynda Barry, and an introduction by
Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now and A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose).
