It’s an empty box. Nothing, really. Sixty-four cubic inches of nothing to be precise. But to a needy child, your Gift of Nothing™ may mean everything. One hundred percent of the profits from the sale of this very special keepsake box will go to Toys for Tots this holiday season.

The Gift of Nothing™ is the brainchild of Patrick McDonnell’s famous feline, Mooch. In a series of holiday strips, Mooch ponders the eternal question of what gift to give to the guy or gal who has everything (Earl). Using his uniquely Moochian logic, the philosophic feline arrives at the seemingly obvious, yet brilliant solution, "Give nothing!"

If you’ve got a little something ($12), now you can give nothing, too. Or practically nothing with this symbolic keepsake gift box from Muttscomics. And when you give the Gift of Nothing™, you can know that 100% of the profit from you purchase will go to Toys for Tots, an organization dedicated to helping children during the holiday season. So, your Gift of Nothing™ is really something else.

And, to make your gift even more special, Patrick McDonnell has offered to draw ten original color illustrations for ten lucky fans who find a Golden Ticket in their Gift of Nothing™. These tickets are redeemable for an original drawing of your choice of a Mutts character. Patrick very rarely releases originals, so these tickets are nothing to sneeze at.

Each keepsake Gift of Nothing™ box is 4" x 4"x 4" and comes with a certificate of donation. And maybe, just shmaybe, an original Patrick McDonnell illustration of your favorite Mutts character.

SHIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE! GIVE NOTHING TO EVERYONE!

Ten lucky fans will get a little more than nothing — an original drawing of a Mutts character of their choice. Patrick very rarely makes originals available, so this is indeed a prize as special as your gift. »

The concept of the Gift of Nothing™ was first introduced in a series of strips published 12/15/97 - 12/27/97. Four of these strips are reprinted on the inside panels of the box. Click here to read the strips. »
