The Wisdom of Dog

Murray Ball

Hodder Moa - $29.99

This  well priced, beautifully presented chunky hardback book is a must-own for all New Zealanders who have lived with and loved Murray Ball’s iconic Dog.

Dog — the central figure in the Footrot Flats cartoon strips — was recently voted New Zealand’s best-loved fictional character.
He has starred in more than 50 Footrot Flats titles and now has a book devoted entirely to himself and the “wisdom” that has made him such a lovable personality.

The Wisdom of Dog features over 300 single, stand-alone cartoons, all with Dog as the main focus. The majority of these have never before been published in book form.

Murray Ball is recognised as New Zealand’s greatest cartoonist — at one stage his Footrot Flats strips were syndicated to 160 newspapers and magazines throughout the world. He has had more than 50 Footrot Flats-related books published.
