So far, I’ve been told I was remiss in leaving out Odie (Garfield) Dogmatix (Asterix), Scrappy Doo (as if!), Poochy (sarcastic mothefuckers is what you guys are), Max (How the Grinch Stole Christmas), Mungo(?), Alistair(?), Hector Goddamnit (?), Gromit (Wallace and), Goofy (Disney), Droopy (Tex Avery), and Pluto (Disney).
Setting aside obviously worthless candidates and total mysteries, this gets us pretty far to setting up another bracket of 16. Especially if you add in Krypto the Superdog, as a friend reminded me when I informed him of this. So, the floor is open!
has to be a random draw
I saw Mr. Osterberg touring behind “Instinct” with Janes Addiction opening up.
I was young and ignorant, but still remember it as being pretty good.
That post was meant for another thread on another board.
no, I think god wanted you to put it here.
He only wants to be one
pikachu
I don’t think Pikachu is a dog but then if we go over semantics like that we’re eventually going to have to confront the Goofy Paradox (if he is a dog then WTF is up with Pluto).
ok then chewy chewbacca
oh shit, Muttley from Wacky Races
no wait i meant the chewbacca that john candy plays. is that a cartoon?
Goddamn, I can’t find the clip on YouTube of the Japanese Wacky Races dub. He sounds like Japanese Clint Eastwood/Tom Waits in that.
xp Spaceballs was tragically never a cartoon
wtf is a nathan explosion? NO WAIT do not answer that.
i AM NOT clicking that
it is an Adult Swim cartoon about a ridiculous metal band, jeez
done by the Home Movies guys
actually we need a cartoon band deathmatch come to think of it
Back to the topic at heh heh hand:
PUGNAX.
Marmaduke
Pugnax/=cartoon. Or even claymation ala Gromit. So far as I know, anyway.
i had this really weird dream last night where i was watching huckleberry hound cartoons for like three hours. possibly initiated by my fixation with the cheerful “the end” music they used in those cartoons.
Pynchon is merely a frustrated cartoon writer who got trapped in the pomo literary game, so I’m invoking the Dino Rule.
Also, WILE E. MUTHALUVVIN COYOTE.
I find it some kind of relief that people are nominating non-dogs before anyone gets around to bringing up Brian from Family Guy.
(almost typed Brain — so I guess there’s another nominee)
Wot no Deputy Dawg?
Hong Kong Phooey!!!
What about that one puppy from The Simpsons who was always standing and walking?? You know, Rory Calhoun.
Fred Basset
Boot from The Perishers
For the benefit of the non-Britishers
Hector = Hector’s House (Godammit was obviously just invective directed as per his omission)
Mungo = Mary Mungo and Midge
Alistair = Crystal Tipps and Alistair.
Roobarb!!
Spike from Tom & Jerry!
Dogtanian!
The Three Muskehounds!
They were shit! Okay so was Fred Basset but he was sometimes funny.
The original post mentions Scrappy Doo! The shit bar has been set really really low here!
(I used to have Fred Bassett curtains and bedspread when I was a little ailsa_xx)
Like I said before, Gorgon, from Crockett Johnson’s Barnaby.
I suppose you could also add the Pup Dog from Pogo, though he doesn’t have the strongest personality (his only lines are “wurf” and “Poltergeists make up the principal type of spontaneous material manifestation”).
Mr. Peabody!
Hector Goddamnit !
(Yeah, it was him off Hector’s house, still laffing here about his secret surname)
o lyk u nevr cald ur dog “Rover Goddamnit”
Oh, Hector from Hector’s House doesn’t count anyway because he’s not a cartoon.
