3844: Ask a Dog

==Explanation==
==The author writes:==
"Ask a Dog" is a running gag that started in 2010. I guess it's a pretty funny joke. It's better than "We're bachelors, baby".
While I was putting this together, I noticed a few things:
*Strip two is the only one to feature Garfield and Odie standing. The others have them behind the ledge.
*The punctuation in the "Dear Ask a Dog" sentence changes quite often.
*The last panel of the fourth comic has Garfield using two thought bubbles.
*Both the ninth and third comics use the joke of Garfield writing the letter, but they both have different punchlines.
*In the second strip, Garfield requests "No questions about the moon". In strip thirteen, there is a question about the moon.
*Whenever Odie answers, he always speaks a total of six dog sound effects.
