Taking Your Pet to the Vet: Cartoons Collected by David Seidman

"Garfield," " Peanuts," "The New Yorker," "The Far Side"these are just a few of the sources for "Taking Your Pet to the Vet," a collection of cartoons from more than 200 strips, panels, and other drawings from the best cartoonists in the world. Included are the eerie art of "Playboy" cartoonist Gahan Wilson, who puts a werewolf in a vet's waiting room; the homey newspaper comic strips of "For Better or For Worse"'s Lynn Johnston, featuring the effects of a huge sheepdog on a small family; and comedy from B. Kliban, whose cat books and calendars have been an international favorite. From a Hindi vet who applies an unconventional method to pull an elephant's tooth to a dog free-associating on a psychiatrist's couch, from a shark's day at the dentist to a snake all tied up in knots, this book delivers a wide assortment of laughs for any pet owner.
