They Moved My Bowl EPUB

Description
A collection of canine humor by the artist ';who drew cartoons that hugged us back . . . known for his simple, often poignant, drawings' (NPR).
Charles Barsotti's distinctive round pups, rendered in just a few simple lines, delighted The New Yorkerreaders 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 perfect for dog lovers everywhere.
Praise for Charles Barsotti
';The man knew our appetites. And he never ceased in finding new ways to render them in wise and amusing and truthful form . . . And oh, how Barsotti could draw dogs. They each had a long, Snoopy-like snout, but they usually lacked the ';Peanuts' pooch's worldly bravado and panache. These were canine who cried. On the couch. In therapy. Sometimes only wanting to know why pet owners dare move the doggie dish.'The Washington Post
';With a minimum number of lines, Charlie could extract the maximum number of ideas.'The New Yorker
