Pooch Café

Pooch Café is a comic strip written and illustrated by Paul Gilligan. Its main character is Poncho, a kibble-hoarding, cat-hating, toilet drinking enthusiastic but naive dog The strip follows Poncho's life with his master, Chazz, and Chazz's cat-loving wife Carmen, and Poncho's adventures with his fellow dogs Boomer, Hudson, Droolia a Bullmastiff, Gus a Scottish Terrier, Beaumont, and Poo Poo a Bichon Frise, and a goldfish named "Fish". The strip takes its name from the café where Poncho and his friends gather to compare notes about life among the humans. Many people attach commendable characteristics to dogs such as loyalty and unconditional love, but Poncho embodies other less-dwelled-upon traits, he's greedy and self-serving, a fact of which he is blissfully aware. Poncho hates cats, and dreams of the day he and his canine companions can catapault all the cats of the world into the sun. Chazz and Carmen are often driven to their wits end by his constant schemes, but still love him unconditionally, tough though it may be. Pooch Cafe is syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate after a short time with Copley's syndicate, and currently appears in aproximately 220 papers. There are two comic book collections of Pooch Cafe, and a new collection available online at www.lulu.com. The creator has also recently started a blog, which can be reached by clicking the "official website" link below.
