The comic centers around a dog (Earl) and a cat (Mooch), their owners, and [[Loads and Loads of Characters|the many humans and animals in their neighborhood]]. Patrick McDonnell is a strong supporter of animal rights who sits on the board of the Humane Society; this flavors both the strip and the website.
