This image is not licensed for free use, but it is believed that fair use in the Wikipedia article Mutts applies because:

1. it serves as an illustration of the drawing style employed in the comic
2. it is only a single panel of a multi-panel comic
3. it is not replaceable by a free image since it is meant to illustrate original work
