Animals Rule the Funnies

Dick Tracy 8/14/08
Ok, seriously, Dick Tracy. Various people have been partially ripped to shreds for a week by these dogs. Seeing as your M.O. is generally "kill the villain in the most gruesome way possible," why not just shoot the hellbeasts?

My theory: Dick Tracy lives in a parallel universe where animal rights activists are far more powerful than human rights activists, and so while the mauling of a criminal is generally applauded, executing a ferocious dog would cause an inconceivable media backlash. That, or the artist just really likes drawing people getting ripped into Cerberus kibble.

IN THE MIND OF THE CARTOONIST: "Wow, I just thought of a really good frog pun. Too bad it has nothing to do with the basic premise of my strip. Maybe the frogs could be men who were changed into frogs by the wizard....nah, I'll just run the frog pun."

Emotionless Robot-woman with Idiotic Tart versus adorable cougar kittens.

I think we know who everyone is rooting for.
