About DOGS! This collection of comics was conceived after a series of meandering conversations with artists revealed a shared admiration for dogs amongst comics-wallahs, as well as a collective desire to explore what the world would look like from the other end of a snout. Perhaps imagining life as a dog could reveal something as yet unseen about our world to ourselves and our readers? The result is grungier, grittier, darker and, at times, more poignant than one could have predicted. Instead of an experiment with stories on dogs, we find our endeavour is really a series of stories on what can only be described as experimental dogs. In this collection you will encounter dogs that are post-apocalyptic, self-reflective, murderous, environmentally-conscious—and much more! Join us at the launch to meet these dogs and a number of their creators…

Proceeds from the sales of this comic go to Sai Ashram Animal Shelter and Red Paws Rescue based in New Delhi. Find out more about Sai Ashram Animal Shelter: http://muditasaiashram.wix.com/saianimalshelter#!beginnings-/c1pbz
