Housebroken : There's a New Dawg in Town
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Dogs and comic strips enjoy a long history together. But leave it to the highly creative mind of cartoonist Steve Watkins to come up with a "dawg" like no other. Watkins's pooch is none other than DJ Dog, a down-on-his-luck, ex-rap star canine forced by circumstances beyond his control to become a permanent houseguest in a suburban family household. Talk about culture shock!Watkins pulls off this unlikely scenario in his hot new comic strip, Housebroken, which captures fans everywhere it appears. Now Housebroken: There's a New Dawg in Town provides the perfect way for fans to find out what happens when hip-hop and suburban cultures clash under one roof. DJ continues to be a star-at least in his own mind-but he must share the stage with the Watson family, including neurotic attorney and father Thurgood, outspoken mother Leslie, nine-year-old businesswoman and daughter Mya, and seven-year-old son Malik, who likes cars and sports second only to his once-famous pit bull.Housebroken boasts all the elements of a hilarious comedy: city dog in the 'burbs, personal agendas galore, attitude and ineptitude, egos to match the extremes. Like the strip, this book holds multiracial appeal, reaching a broad audience with its universal themes of family, cooperation, and overcoming differences.
About the Author
Steve Watkins attended Yale University Law School, but he could never quite shake the urge to create comics. In fact, his law school notebooks were filled with the doodles that would later become Housebroken. Steve has left the legal field to commit himself full-time to cartooning. Syndicated by Tribune Media Services, his strip regularly appears in newspapers ranging from the Chicago Tribune and Detroit Free Press to the Denver Post and Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
