Infatti è difficile da macchiare e da notare nelle foto.

 Can you spot the dog?
 
L'artista odierno ormai persegue solo la sua propria riconoscibilita' 
stilistica, vende se stesso.
 
Uno fotografa solo in cima alle montagne con macchine a cassetta di 
legno, un altro fotografa solo seminaristi che giocano durante la 
ricreazione, un altro pittura girasoli applicando spatolate di tempera, 
un altro strappa i manifesti, un altro taglia le tele vuote, questo qui 
mette come cifra stilistica il suo cane nell'angolino: spot my dog.
 
Non e' neanche originale, perche' ci aveva pensato tale e quale George 
Rodrigue, il quale per migliorare la spottabilita' del cane lo pitturava 
di blu. Adesso che e' morto le sue tele costano una cifra di piu'.
 
Se questo fotografo col Bulli vuole far aumentare le quotazioni dei suoi 
scatti, io -dopo aver visto come si veste- mi offo volontario.

actually say "bastard."

Sei troppo scrupoloso.
 
Il mio riferimento culturale per il termine "fink" e', prosaicamente, 
nelle strip del mago WIZ, di hart e parker. Esterno notte, fuori dalle 
finestre del castello del re. Si sente  un galoppo lontano, poi un 
galoppo vicino, poi qualcuno urla: the King is a Fink! poi il galoppo si 
allontana. Il re si incazza e non riesce piu' a dormire.
 
Nello strisce italiane fink e' tradotto come "il re e' un babbeo!".
 
Si perde purtroppo l'assonanza king-fink che creava i tre quarti 
dell'humour in inglese.

Eh, va bene il riferimento culturale, ma chi se la ricorda
quella particolare striscia?

 ma chi se la ricorda quella particolare striscia?
 
infatti non era una striscia sola, era un tormentone ricorrente 
(repetitive gag).

No, I wasn't suggesting it was a Dalmatian: I was making a joke, a pun, 
on the subject line. Can you spot (spot=vedere; spot=macchiare) the 
dog. I can spot a dog if it's a dalmatian.
 
I know the dog in question was not a dalmatian.
 
Sorry.


 dalmatian.
 
 
A dalmatian would be harder to spot in a spotted landscape.
(or "in a spotted background"? in italiano "contro uno sfondo
macchiato"). 
 
A bulldog would be harder to spot (to paint) than a dachsund,
perhaps.
 
Catspotting, that's really hard, they don't like that
treatment.

As someone who is owned by two cats, adolescent brothers, I have to agree.
