Angst in Cartooning World, Political Correctness Run Amok

January 31, 2013 by Dale Laitinen

Frida, Canine American Artist

The cartoonist originator of Frida the Art Dog is under fire by an animal rights group for his pejorative use of the term dog.
.
Faux Art News has learned through a press release by an anthropomorphic-leaning political action network that the term is no longer acceptable in current language or art.

The “Canine Consciousness Awareness Society” has published a partial list of the no longer accepted language.
*Hang dog
*Dog days of summer
*You Dog
*Dog eat dog. (Not only denigrates canines but promotes cannibalism)
*Dog Star
*Here doggy doggy!
*Hot Dog

This list goes on and is too large to publish here. Contact CCAS for full behavioral parameters.

The extremist group is also lobbying in Washington DC for legislation requiring dogs to be read their rights when arrested by animal control. Also on their agenda is the requirement that all of our four-legged friends now be called Canine Americans.

When “Frida” originator Dale Laitinen was contacted for a statement, his only comment was, “Well, I’ll be dogged!”
