Just Like Heaven

(3) K-3 Mooch the cat from McDonnell's popular Mutts comic strip falls asleep under a tree, wakes up surrounded by dense fog, and, initially unsure of where he is, concludes that he must be in heaven. Though somewhat precious, the story's premise of looking at familiar surroundings through new eyes has appeal, which is enhanced by McDonnell's spare pen-and-ink drawings, reminiscent of Japanese prints.
