A little bit of Saturday Morning cartoon committee creation logic behind this title. Hot Dog. He has a house huge on the inside, though small on the outside. Has bunches and bunches of gadgets that can do loads of plot creation for him – like, in this instance, turn dogs into humans and humans into dogs. Also he has a robot butler. And a chihuahua sidekick. And it’s all the result of some space dogs.
Or. Not. Because they don’t want to run that one. So now Hot Dog built and created this magical doghouse. Out of things he dug out of Dilton’s backyard. This raises a number of questions. With these “Astro-Mutts” there is this “poof! There it is!” dynamic. If Hot Dog were dragging items out of Dilton’s yard – Dilton and his parents would notice, and even if they didn’t I think Jughead and his parents would notice Hot Dog building things somehow.
"Transmogrifier". Could Bill Watterson sue?
The comic book succeeds at being not embarrassing – there were worse efforts in this “experimental” era. (then again, there were also more worthwhile ones.) There is a curious effect in issue 3 where Gene Colan, fresh off his Jughead Batman parody tie in for Jughead # 17, draws the Hot Dog Batman parody tie-in (groan as you will at “Barkman”) and… well, Colan did draw Howard the Duck so you can compare and contrast the anthropomorphic comic things.

Transmogrifier: Semi-interchangable with Transspecies; used to say that you identify as an animal and are physically modifying yourself to be one, either permanently [tattoos, surgery, etc,,] or temporarily [gear, clothing, etc,,]
When I was in middle school, my English teachers would give their classes these booklets with lists of novels that students could purchase. My parents bought me lots of books, some that I read and the majority that I ignored (pretty much what happens today when I buy books for myself). One set of stories that never failed to devour my time was Calvin and Hobbes. This comic nourished my personality and sense of humor.
It’d take too much time on my part and attention on your part to cover all the things that I adore about the adventures of these two. I’m condensing my admiration down so that it’s a bit more manageable.
Reality vs. Reality
Hobbes is real, but he’s real in a different way to Calvin than he is to the rest of the world. For Calvin, Hobbes really is a separate individual who’s his friend. For the rest of the world, Hobbes really is a just a doll. In the strip above, he mangled and stole from Calvin. As much as he would try to explain that to his mom, she would never believe him. Hobbes is just a doll, so Calvin’s story isn’t possible. Both are true. This is liberating, but also a bit tragic for the blonde misfit. It’s liberating because he has a friend that he can bicker, laugh, and experience life with. Hobbes is enough, and no one can blemish that friendship. It’s tragic because he locks the door for understanding between him and others. No one can convince him that he’s just an inanimate toy. Since no one can blemish his friendship with Hobbes, no one will truly be able to understand him.
Being
Some of my favorite strips are when Calvin is just himself. When he’s hammering nails into the coffee table, he’s the most Calvin he can be. He’s not performing for or trying to impress anyone. He’s not limited by social norms or politeness. He just sees what he wants to do and goes for it. Social norms are the backbone of any relationship, but, you gotta admit, the blatant honesty of this kid’s actions are refreshing.
The Ordinary is Extraordinary
Much of life is mundane, but that’s the exact reason he builds his own worlds within it. Like lots of kids, Calvin hates school because it cages him from all the other things he’d rather be doing. That doesn’t change the fact that he’s gotta get through it somehow. So, he gets through it by creating his own fun. His imagination thrives and makes any situation special. He doesn’t need anything fancy to have fun. I like that a lot because materialism (attaining happiness through external objects) is big these days. There’s some truth to that, of course. There’s no replacement for food that melts your brain or jumping out of a plane for fun. But there’s something to respect about a person who’s able to be rich or poor and still be happy.
I use The Transmogrifier by icarus_allsorts to copy the script from one of Ani's Savvier Seller displays to these, which is fun. But that means it's a real display that you can link to a register and sell things from.

I'm working on a small dairy shop, and these work great for little things like eggs and cheese.
