Crittertude: Happiness is a Warm Tush Martin, David (London School of Economic and Political Science)

The daily comic strip Crittertude is cartoonist David Martin's wry photographic portrait of the secret world of ferrets, dogs, cats and birds all forced to live together under one roof. Part comic-strip, part photographic documentary, Happiness is a Warm Tush presents us with the often conflicting views and fantasy realm of these extraordinary household pets in full-color, comic book format.

From the innocence of Mady the squiggly ferret to the diabolical plans of the nefarious black sneaky cat, Crittertude is a place where life is magically transformed from the daily doldrum of existence to the realm of fantasy, imagination and the occasional unplanned mayhem.

Fans of the online comic have felt a strong connection to each of the characters over the years as they have made us laugh, cry and ultimately realize how the simple unconditional love of a pet can transform our lives in ways never before imagined.

Happiness is a Warm Tush is a compilation of the first set of Crittertude adventures previously published on crittertude.com. It's a perfect introduction for newcomers to the comic strip and a nostalgic experience for fans across the globe.
