"I laughed so hard at "Citizen Dog" one day that I actually got the hiccups." --Kevin Fagan, creator of "Drabble"

Man is dog's best friend. At least, that is in the case in "Dog's Best Friend," the hilarious collection of "Citizen Dog" comic strips from creator Mark O'Hare.

The humor of quick-witted canine Fergus and his hapless owner Mel are reminiscent of classic comedy teams such as Laurel and Hardy or the Honeymooners' Ed Norton and Ralph Cramden. Everything Fergus and Mel do, they do together--whether it's going to the movies, shopping, taking a walk, or sleeping.

By foregoing the traditional master/dog relationship, Mel and Fergus are in a perpetual--and hysterical--power struggle that's reminiscent of an old married couple. Which one gets to be "roller guy" and who has to paint all the edges when the two decide to repaint the living room? How many times does Fergus get to eat--six or seven? The two may never figure out solutions to these everyday problems, but "Citizen Dog" readers found out long ago that the results are always hysterical.

Anyone who enjoys slapstick humor, the company of a fun pet, or just plain funny circumstances won't want to miss "Dog's Best Friend." Whether you're a child, a parent, or a senior citizen, it's a treasure of strips that will leave you howling.

A lively cartoon about two best friends, Citizen Dog is quickly becoming one of the most popular strips in America.

Average guy Mel has a new friend moving in, but the arrangement isn't working out the way he had anticipated. You see, he was expecting his new dog to be the loyal, trustworthy, man's-best-friend kind of housemate. Instead, Fergus is turning his world inside out, and the neighbors are starting to talk.

Mel and Fergus are the ultimate odd couple of the comics page, two inseparable best friends who stumble through everyday life together. They eat at the same table, share the same bed, and watch the same television shows. In the zany spirit of the infamous comedy teams of Laurel and Hardy and Abbott and Costello, cartoonist Mark O'Hare has created a twosome whose relationship goes way beyond owner and pet. Mel and Fergus work out their differences in a decidedly no-holds-barred way that's all too funny and familiar.
-- When Mel goes grocery shopping, this stubborn pooch refuses to wait in the car, and Mel is forced to endure Fergus' greedy appetite for pickles in aisle five and breakfast cereals in aisle six.
-- After Mel hears a suspicious noise downstairs in the middle of the night, you'll laugh as they struggle to decide whether or not Fergus is a good watchdog.
-- When Fergus and Mel get separated on one of their regular walks together, Mel puts up "missing dog" fliers all over town. Guess who tries to file a missing person's report at the police station?
