Talk:Marmaduke

message: This article is about Marmaduke the strip, but shouldn't there be an article on Marmaduke the character as well?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.233.73.251 (talk) 07:14, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

message: One thing that always confused me was the fact that, although "Dog-Gone Funny" is supposedly drawn from fan submissions, never once (to my knowledge) has a submission address been published. An admittedly brief online search for a submission address also came up empty. Isn't it possible that these are simply made up by the author to fill space?

text: And I'm sorry the Wikpedia isn't your personal blog, so yes, I removed your "trivia" entry about Marmaduke not being funny. I personally can't stand Marmaduke either, but WP isn't the place to get on our soapboxes about it. Also take a look at our policy against Original Research and our aim to present a neutral point of view. -- Antepenultimate 00:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

message: My edit was reverted, though it was an edit that expanded what the article said. To quote the article,
"Marmaduke the dog is the rape fantasy taken flesh; he is the overpowering force that conquers your will and thus leaves you inculpable. You physically cannot resist; therefore you are absolved of responsibility. It is not your fault. (The tacit implication is that you are then free to enjoy it guiltlessly.)"58.174.227.44 (talk) 00:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Critique section 

message: Looks like there's a Marmaduke movie on the way, one news story here.  A bit of broken syntax in its description of the star brings us "...a mischievous Great Dane who lives with the Winslow family in 1954", which seems to explain a lot.  Also note that "The studio also has 'We Bought a Zoo' and the Farrelly brothers' project 'Walter the Farting Dog' in development."  Sadly, none of this can be included in the Marmaduke article due to policy Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.  --CliffC (talk) 15:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A second reading of WP:NOTCRYSTAL seems to say that mentioning the movie would be okay; I have done so.  --CliffC (talk) 19:59, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Breaking news, syntax, wind

message: I rewrote the reception section slightly, after searching for quite a few sources. Since this touches on some of the same content discussed above, it is probably necessary to make a few comments. Firstly, as best as I can determine, it seems that most of what is written about Marmaduke is critical of or pokes fun at it, so it would be wrong for us to ignore or misreport it; the right thing to do, in order to meet Wikipedia's goal of being an accurate summary of published material, is to report the reception as it is. Blogs and the like are not inherently notable, but when several mainstream media sources have reported on a phenomenon, it is worth noting. Shreevatsa (talk) 06:52, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

message: April 12, 1954 there was a Walter Lantz cartoon called "Dig That Dog" (available on youtube) about a Great Dane so big it overwhelmed it's owner.(84.236.152.71 (talk) 16:15, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I deleted my post out of respect for BA's family.  I'm sorry I don't know what I was thinking.2602:30A:2C52:C170:51C:1EDB:3232:1E59 (talk) 10:50, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that is indeed what the reference says, which you could easily check for yourself. People don't just expect to die once they reach some magical age; if Anderson expected to pass soon, due to some illness or failing health, one presumes he would have arranged to end the strip or smoothly transition it to another author. Cause of death is not listed so we go with what the ref says. Antepenultimate (talk) 23:32, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brad Anderson died "unexpectedly"? 

message: Is there a source for the cat's name of "Carlos"? The only recurring cat character I know of in recent years is the Siamese "King Tut". Whether he belongs to the Winslows or not I don't know, but Barbara is seen petting him on the couch in today's strip. Powers T 17:11, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cat's name 

message: Why should this article, which is about the comic strip, have a section listing characters who only appear in the film? The film has its own article, the characters who appear in it can be listed there. It doesn't make any sense to include them here, and it creates confusion because of the whole King Tut being renamed Carlos in the movie issue.
