Marmaduke is America's most lovable Great Dane. Created by Brad Anderson, the classic comic canine has delighted newspaper readers since 1954. Marmaduke lives with the Winslow family, who, try as they might, just can't seem to get him to obey. Despite his antics, the playful pooch is top dog in the neighborhood and on the comics page, where he has endeared himself to readers in more than 20 countries. The daily panel also strikes a chord with pet owners, many of whom write to Anderson to comment on Marmaduke as if he were a real dog.

I think the bird is thinking the same thing.

That’s just what I was thinking…I’m guessing he’s the reason the cat is up there in the first place…I can just hear the bird saying, “ha, ha, ya missed me.”

It seems that the dumber any animal is, the more the bleeding heart public wants to save it!!

“‘Dog people’ are relationship builders, ‘cat people’ it seems thrive on rejection.” Quote from a PBS program on why people love dogs and cats.

Cats aren’t dumb; they’re aloof. A dog looks on its master as god; a cat expects to be worshipped as a god.

Or it could be that dogs make higher-maintenance pets than cats do — as much as I like both animals, guess which one I’m going to own if I’m busy working all day and don’t have the time or the energy to take said pet for a walk when I get home?

I expected Marm to be beyond the cat hating stereotype.

The cat is very smart. It has fun, then is waited upon. That’s how cats roll.

Yeah, just let it die, right? Ha ha! Wow, what brilliant comedy! I can barely catch my breath, I’m laughing so hard. And my knees are sore from all the slapping.
