A hidden gem - Rated
I was given this book as an afterthought for Christmas, and it lay around for a few days before I bothered to open it. My mistake - it's very, very funny, light and easy to read - and has all the makings of a classic. Read it!

Hackman the dog - Rated
The cartoons in this book are beautifully drawn and the script is well-thought through and often has a topical flavour. The selection of supporting characters is interesting and the use of colour in some of the cartoon strips adds a dimension; the selection of colours used like the art itself is excellent.

The overall presentation in this hardback is professional and eclipses that of many previous titles in this genre.

It will have wide appeal and deserves to be syndicated in a nationwide newspaper. The strip's future popularity will be well deserved.

Hilarious, for old and young alike - Rated
The Pedigree will never be the same again. Bill Houston has re-kindled the imagination with this first instalment. Hackman the troubled Spaniel is adorable, sensible and questioning. The crazy world around him seems never to make sense!

This is without doubt the NEW Peanuts and Garfield rolled into one. Superbly illustrated and written. It will appeal to young and old alike.

Pure escapism and a must for every book table. (To be picked up when you feel a bit down in the mouth, and thumbed over when you definitely need cheered up).

Buy it. This deserves to become a cartoon classic!
