Mutt Emma lives with a temperamental artist and his cat. When Emma stumbles across the "Ask Queenie!" electronic advice column for dogs (qdog@weeklybone.dog), she takes her problems to the expert. Although the storytelling panels, dialogue bubbles, and e-mail correspondence make for a busy look, the design--along with Christelow's exuberant pen-and-ink and watercolor pictures--perfectly illustrates the frenetic story.
