The other day I received my copy of Dog eat Doug: It’s a Good Thing They’re Cute. Dog eat Doug is a web comic that is making a foothold into newspapers all over the US. Brian Anderson writes and draws the comic every day. He posts them to his blog at Dog eat Doug Comic. The book is a collection of comics from the very first year of Dog eat Doug. I’ve been a fan for a long time and have caught every strip. It should be your daily read and this book is certainly a great start to getting to know the strip.
