Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag | |
| Mutts (Comic Strip) / int_131ff928 | comment |
The animals (most notably Earl and Mooch) acted more animal-like compared to their Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag in later comics. In addition to that, they also opened their mouths when talking, something that rarely happens nowadays. | |

Scenery Censor: Whenever Mooch and Earl (or some other animal) is seen crouching, grass will always cover their feet. This is done so that drawing them is easier without the need to add feet. | |

Meat-O-Vision: One strip has Mooch rubbing Earl - who's been sprayed by a skunk - with tuna in order to mask the skunk smell. Afterwards, he imagines Earl as a giant fish... and gets hungry. In another strip, while they're stuck out at sea in a boat, Mooch imagines Earl as a giant fish, then a giant chicken. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |

Misplaced Wildlife: One strip has Earl and Mooch meeting a narwhal while at the beach. Earl comments that he thought narwhals only lived in arctic waters. The narwhal replies, "I'm on vacation." Played for Laughs in this strip. It's never straight-up said where Earl and Mooch live, but it's certainly not Antarctica. This doesn't stop a penguin from showing up there on an unusually cold day. | |

Pet Positive Identification: Earl the dog and Mooch the cat encounter a bizarre, raggedly humanoid with green skin. Mooch panics and advises fleeing the monster. Earl, however, wags his tail, stating: "Green, orange, blue ... I know my Ozzie." Ozzie was mimicking the Frankenstein monster for Hallowe'en at the time. | |

The Cameo | |
| Mutts (Comic Strip) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Popeye shows up quite a lot. He also appears in this strip alongside several other comic strip characters such as Snoopy, Dick Tracy, Little Nemo, and Ignatz the Mouse. This strip has one of the squirrels hitting Alfred E. Neuman with an acorn and saying, "What, me worry?" They've thrown an acorn at Betty Boop once as well. And Charlie Brown more than once. And Richie Rich. And Dennis the Menace (US). And Cathy. And Zippy!. MeeMow, McDonnell's own cat, appears at Shnelly's Housecat Club, though only seen from the ears. | |

Sick Episode: Sometimes Mooch would get a cold and Earl would try to help him, though this happens less nowadays in favor of the ongoing "Hibernation" storylines. One week focused on Growling Guts caused by overeating and stomachaches. It concluded with Earl inducing vomiting by eating grass. | |

Furry Confusion: The main animals are noticeably more anthropomorphic compared to their four-legged non-anthropomorphic friends. Mooch used to own a snail named Little Earl. He also treats Earl like a dog despite being a cat. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Mutts (Comic Strip) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: At the start, the comic focused more on pets and their adventures before gradually becoming a comic focused on animal rights. The animals (most notably Earl and Mooch) acted more animal-like compared to their Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag in later comics. In addition to that, they also opened their mouths when talking, something that rarely happens nowadays. Earl's coat was coarse in earlier strips though this was fixed shortly after. Mooch was really skinny looking, but has since gained a little weight. Noodles, Guard Dog and Butchie originally spoke in heavy Brooklyn accents, but this was dropped as they were too distracting for readers. Guard Dog was often shown off his chain, only becoming chained when needed. Crabby and Lollipop were less expressive in their debut. | |

Painting the Medium: In an October 2017 storyline, Mooch claims to have magic powers capable of transporting him and Earl into the future. When Earl asks how they'll know it worked, Mooch points to the copyright notice at the bottom of the strip, which reads "Mutts © 2120 Patrick McDonnell". In a subsequent strip, Mooch transports them into the past, reverting them from line ink art to pencil sketches. | |

Spit Take | |
| Mutts (Comic Strip) / int_643659d4 | comment |
Spit Take: Implied in this strip - while snubbing his dinner (as per usual), Mooch fends for himself by eating wild berries... only to discover that they taste awful. We then see Mooch eating his dinner - immediately followed by Earl with berry juice all over his face. | |

| Mutts (Comic Strip) / int_665136e6 | comment |
Animals Lack Attributes: Played straight for the most part, although the cows always have udders. In a few earlier strips, the anus part is averted for a rabbit, ducks and even Earl himself. Averted in a strip when Mooch is badly beaten up because he accidentally tried to "milk" a dalmatian thinking he was a cow. | |

Artistic License – Animal Care: Mooch and Earl, along with the other animals, eat a ton of human food that would either kill them or make them sick in real life, though they always remember that chocolate is bad for them. Sid is a goldfish living in the stereotypical goldfish bowl. In the collaboration Darling, I Love You, one poem features Sid's goldfish bowl slowly transforming into the ocean, where he happily swims about. Goldfish are freshwater fish and therefore can die if placed in saltwater environments. | |

Animals Fear Neutering | |
| Mutts (Comic Strip) / int_9798789d | comment |
Animals Fear Neutering: In a rare aversion for a work featuring animals, all the dogs and cats (yes, even the males) are happily willing to get their sexual organs removed for the sake of Spay Day and even they know about the overpopulation issue. While it's never explicitly stated, this is strongly implied with Mooch and Noodles, two tomcats who fight over the love of a female cat, which is extremely ironic considering they too support the spaying and neutering of pets. | |

She's a Man in Japan | |
| Mutts (Comic Strip) / int_a0955420 | comment |
She's a Man in Japan: In the Finnish translation of the strip Mooch is named Kati, which is a female name. It was probably the translator's decision to have a girl cat paired with a boy dog in the comic. It becomes interesting when later in the comic strip's run Mooch is shown to be romantically interested in female cats. Mooch was never renamed in the translation, so to the readers the character appeared as lesbian. | |

Toilet Humour: Surprisingly for a comic focusing on animals, the comic averts this for the most part, only going far as to have the occasional mention of Mooch's litter box or Earl running over to a tree or pole (implying he wants to mark his territory). Mooch once dropped a snowball in his house, which is unfortunate when Frank showed up and thought Earl had an accident because the snowball melted.

Hypocritical Humor: This strip has Mooch complaining about Earl loudly slurping his water. Earl informs him that what he's slurping is actually milk. Mooch then does some slurping of his own. Here, Mooch calls fleas "lazy do-nuthin's who live off others". Then he hears Millie calling him for dinner. Mooch and Noodles support Spay Day, but both aren't willing to get themselves neutered. Earl and Mooch often complain about humans eating meat even though they don't have a problem eating meat themselves nor do they think about it that much, which is justified as they are animals. | |

Sliding Scale of Animal Cast | |
| Mutts (Comic Strip) / int_bb36c953 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Animal Cast: The strip focuses almost entirely on the daily lives of pets Mooch and Earl and later a cast of animals as a whole. Humans are present, but only a few of them, like Ozzie, are main characters and are mostly demoted to more minor roles. | |

Why Didn't I Think of That?: This is Bip and Bop's reaction to Earl suggesting that they store their nuts for the winter instead of throwing them at his head. | |

All Just a Dream | |

All Just a Dream: One strip in a ''Shelter Stories'' storyline has Andy, a dog, being afraid to open his eyes the next morning because he's worried that the previous day was just a dream and that he's still in the shelter. Eventually, he works up the courage to open his eyes... and discovers that, indeed, it was not a dream. | |

Crossover: When Blondie (1930) celebrated the Blumsteads' 60th Anniversary in 2005 Earl and Mooch could be seen with other King Features characters on Blondie and Dagwood's front lawn. In the Mutts comic for that day Ozzie receives an invite to the gala as Earl trips up the oddly familiar looking Mailman. | |

Vomit Discretion Shot: Earl and Mooch witness a bird feeding her baby offscreen, much to the latter's disgust. After Mooch accidentally eats a show dog's meal of liver and egg, he announces he's going to be sick and Earl tells him to be discreet. Later, we see him throwing up inside a trophy. Mooch gets sick while riding on a Ferris wheel with Earl and then leans over, announcing that it's "time to feed the fishes". | |
