Editing Mutts (comic strip) (section)

===Animals===
*'''Bip and Bop'''&nbsp;– Two nutty squirrels who like bonking ground-dwellers in the head with nuts (described as antagonists of the strip)
*'''Crabby'''&nbsp;– An unhappy crab who speaks with frequent "salty" language (denoted by stars and typographical symbols); he claims to have gone on many adventures, such as on a pirate ship, inside a whale, and even meeting the ''[[Popeye]]'' cast
*'''Sparky''' (formerly '''Guard Dog''')&nbsp;– A tough-looking, tethered dog with a soft heart. Sparky's mission is to remind humans that it's wrong to perpetually chain a dog. He was finally untethered in a November-December 2023 storyline after being abandoned by his previous owner and saved by Earl, Mooch, Ozzie, Doozy and her mother. Doozy adopted Guard Dog who was renamed Sparky, McDonnell's homage to [[Charles M. Schulz]].<ref>[https://mutts.com/blogs/news/a-letter-from-patrick-the-guard-dog-story McDonnell, Patrick.
