They Moved My Bowl: Dog Cartoons by New Yorker Cartoonist Charles Barsotti Description This is the first, and long-overdue, book of Charles Barsotti's dog cartoons. Barsotti's 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, "Don't 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.

They Moved My Bowl: Dog Cartoons by New Yorker Cartoonist Charles Barsotti customer reviews: Another Barsotti Gem There's no kinder commentary on human/canine society than Barsotti's funny take on people as pups/pups as people. This is not just for dog lovers, it's a great gift or bedside pal for the down-in-the-mouth, stressed-out crankypants who needs to connect with his/her inner pooch. Would that be you? How do you beat a dog judge commenting to a doggy defendant, "As unbelievable as it may seem to you today, this court was once a puppy too." If you haven't collected Charley's works, start now! Add some grins to your goofball world. Just Fantastic The 'just okay' review is utterly baffling. I can understand expending effort on a rave or a pan, but why bother logging in and typing up a middle-of-the-road, neither-here-nor-there totally uninformative and uninformed 'just okay'? This is Charles Barsotti we're talking about, one of the true titans of cartooning. If Matisse could write funny captions, if Roy Lichtenstein could draw funny dogs, and if Raymond Pettibon had an internal editor they might be as great as Charles Barsotti. But right now, he's the best there is. gift for dog lover I bought this as a Christmas gift for a dog lover. She seemed happy to receive it. Wonderful and too short! I just love this. Mr. Barsotti's drawing are spare and simple and yet convey a range of emotion, both comical and not. I'm thinking of buying this book as a gift for several other dog lovers. I just wish it were longer. They Moved My Bowl I thought this would be a good book for dog owners. However, the cartoons are not really funny or interesting. I was really disappointed in its lack of enjoyable content.
