This week our intrepid critics take a look at man&#8217;s best friend.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Consider the dog\u2014loyal, obedient, trusting\u2014how different from the typical human! Perhaps that&#8217;s why dogs make such excellent companions. It&#8217;s that extraordinarily close relationship many of us have with our dogs that&#8217;s the basis for countless cartoons.<\/p>\n<p>Not all cartoon dogs are alike, of course. The cartoonist must decide how dog-like the canine character should be. For example, is Fido fetching a stick or heading into a business meeting? Naked but for fur or sporting a business suit? Reliant upon humans or an independent actor? A realistic dog, for example, doesn&#8217;t speak, understands little of our speech, and barely thinks. Behold such a dog in Jack Ziegler&#8217;s brilliant, caption-less cartoon. The finger wagging mirroring the tail wagging is genius.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartooncollections.com\/cartoon?searchID=cc30438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2958\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC30438h.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Ziegler cartoons\" width=\"500\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC30438h.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC30438h-274x300.jpg 274w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC30438h-768x842.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" class=\"smfont\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Danny Shanahan has drawn dozens of great dog cartoons. Sometimes the pups are doing dog-like things, like going for a walk; however, the settings are unexpected, as in this cartoon, also without a caption, in time for the waning days of the baseball season. This doggie is delighted that the catcher is calling for an intentional walk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartooncollections.com\/cartoon?searchID=CC121428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2964\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC121428h.jpg\" alt=\"Danny Shanahan cartoons\" width=\"500\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC121428h.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC121428h-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC121428h-768x608.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" class=\"smfont\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lassie, that heroic dog of stage and screen, was able to react to calls for help with the speed and professionalism of a human rescue squad. Shanahan plays on those qualities by depicting Lassie as both a potential savior and a therapist&#8217;s patient in this two-panel cartoon. In both panels, Lassie is depicted as a collie without human physical attributes, but that doesn&#8217;t rule out human neuroses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartooncollections.com\/cartoon?searchID=CC33670\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2959\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC33670h.jpg\" alt=\"Danny Shanahan\" width=\"500\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC33670h.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC33670h-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC33670h-768x607.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" class=\"smfont\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next, Alex Gregory focuses more explicitly on the human-like thoughts and emotions of dogs.

Charles Barsotti drew a slew of dog cartoons in which the ca-nine characters exist in a world of their own. In this example, the patient and therapist are the same species\u2014indeed, perhaps the same breed:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartooncollections.com\/cartoon?searchID=cc68271\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2962\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC68271h.jpg\" alt=\"Charles Barsotti dog cartoons\" width=\"500\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC68271h.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC68271h-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cartoonstock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CC68271h-768x414.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" class=\"smfont\">BUY THIS CARTOON<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A line is crossed when a dog speaks directly to its owner.
