Mush!

Mush! Sled Dogs with Issues by Glenn Eichler & Joe Infurnari  124 pp.

"Office politics meets sled dog team" could be the subtitle of this graphic novel. Six sled dogs work through a number of issues in an allegory of the workplace. Venus, the breeding female, is tired of Buddy's sexual advances. Buddy is focused only on his sex drive and wants help in wooing Venus. Winston, the only purebred just wants some respect. Guy is after Dolly's job of lead dog and will do whatever is needed to take it including causing dissension in the ranks. Dolly doesn't really think she deserves the lead dog position but she lives to run. While this is going on, Frank, their owner, and his wife are having problems of their own. This is an interesting take on the "workplace."
