we just had a police dog shot dead in New Zealand. it was sad. and people were outrage they saw the body of the dead dog lying on the street on news. just saying
Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Silliest best comic in ages! I'm still snorting and giggling at Dog-proof and diabolical
Good thing this is theoretical. I've heard that those dogs can bite hard enough through the padding to bruise.
I really liked this one--one of the best. Please keep creating entertaining, thought-provoking strips and I'll keep laughing every time they show up in my RSS feed.
The first time I've ever seen a Duchamp reference in a comic strip. Kudos, Scott.
Hey! Where's the You Will Learn logo? That stick always made me laugh.
Good luck stealing it, Ric -- it was lost soon after it was made in 1917, allegedly thrown out with the trash by Alfred Stieglitz!
This is one of your funniest strips ever -- although I say that almost every time I read a new one -- "... after a few seconds, I'll be covered with a protective layer of police dog." I need to find a situation in which I could use that line!
There's some weird synchronicity there in that the Fountain was signed R. Mutt...
Yeah, the Duchamp reference is impressive. I'm wondering whether the Middleman reference was intentional, or merely coincidental phrasing...?
Nice one Scott! Thnx!
What's really sad is people were probably more outraged at a shot police dog than they would be about a human being
The "fun" thing behind that again is, that Duchamp didn`t care too much of the urinal being "the original". It`s the concept behind, what is the "piece of art". So, any urinal would work. To exchange this would not make any sense at all! It doesn`t matter, which singular urinal is standing there on the place of the museum. There are even a couple of "copies" around the world. So, the burglars would have a hard time to re-sell this!
A thousand blessings on you for the Middleman reference!!! It's sheer elegance in its simplicity!
Duchamp and Middleman in one panel.
another way to aid your escape would be to throw the urinal. either the police would have to dodge it or avoid the shieking "artist" trying to save it.
Love the reference to The Middleman in the first panel.
Love the reference to The Middleman in the first panel.
weird crimes:

The perfect crime is actually charging money to see "art" like a urinal or a couple of garbage bags just sitting there pretty much the same way they do on the curbs of people who didn't have room in their garbage cans.
What's really sad is there are probably people who would be more upset over a shot human than a shot puppy-doggy
I like it... maybe too much.
I have a wonderful mental image of that giant mass of angry dogs walking down the street.
Yay! There are other people here who loved the Middleman! I was so mad that ABC "Family" kept "Secret Life of the American Teenager" over that show.
thinking scott ---------> yelling scott -----------> explaining scott ------------> pointing out witty remark spot --> Happy Me
..."a protective layer of police dog!" HAHAHAHA!!
I love the way your mind works Reading your comic is harmless fun and good for my brain.
Never heard of MIddleman, but this is a rare occasion that I love all four panels individually.
