Pooch Café: From Comic Strips to the Big Screen


Around two years ago I was able to this Pooch Café book at a bargain price at Expressions, Walter Mart North EDSA.  I didn't know about Pooch Cafe until I bought this book but I enjoyed it at once.  Who can resist a cute little dog named Poncho.  But Poncho is not your typical pet dog.  Poncho is greedy and self-serving.  And that is the fun part.

About Pooch Café by GoComics.com:
Pooch Café is the story of a cheese-loving, squirrel-fearing, kibble-desiring, break-dancing, toilet-drinking mutt named Poncho. Dogs, like certain barflies, want to go where everybody knows their name (other than the vet’s office.) So they gather at the Pooch Café to compare notes on such weighty issues as avoiding baths, zebra-flavored kibble, toilet breath, and the construction of a giant catapult with which to hurl all the Earth’s cats into the sun. Don’t look for it out on the main street -- its actual location is a canine top secret that was only compromised that one time they got a pizza delivered.
So I was thrilled when I read that Pooch Café would be produced by Sony Pictures Animation with Gnomeo and Juliet director Kelly Asbury as writer.  I can't wait to see this!

BTW, here's a sample of the Pooch Café comic strip by Paul Gilligan:
