Marmaduke and/or his owner-man are being given a traffic ticket because Marmaduke is not wearing his seat belt. Despite the fact that seat belt laws do not apply to dogs in any conceivable scenario, and despite the fact that a seat belt would only serve to injure a dog in the event of an accident, Marmaduke and/or his owner-man are being given a traffic ticket because Marmaduke is not wearing his seat belt.

Today's the last day to pre-order your very own MARMADUKE IS AN ASSHOLE t-shirt. You can post-pre-order them too, but that's not nearly as fun. What are you waiting for? Click the thing to go to the thing to get the thing! Do it!

Marmaduke, due to his considerable proportions, is able to sit on a couch the way a person would. His owner-lady tries to spin this to her friend as though Marmaduke is a groundbreaking obedience prodigy with a bold and exciting take on a common pet command, rather than just a huge fucking dog who steals your couch when you have company over.

(speaking of crass consumerism, the MARMADUKE IS AN ASSHOLE T-Shirt Pre-Order Fiesta has two more days to go... If you want to be the first kid on your block to tell your mom just how much of a jerk Marmaduke is via a swear word on a t-shirt, and also receive but not directly pay for an index card with something I drew on it that you suggested to me, you have very few other options)

Marmaduke's owner-girl jokingly makes reference to an old superstition in order to explain to her friend that her hulking, monstrous dog hunts down and mauls every cat he meets.

Marmaduke put the bone in the toaster.

Marmaduke and/or his owner-girl (and, either way, Marmaduke creator Brad Anderson by extension) are mocking the slang and crass consumerism of mainstream hip-hop culture.

(Speaking of crass consumerism, pre-orders for the "Marmaduke is an Asshole" t-shirt only have a week or so to go... After that, the free Joe Mathlete index card artwork offer is off the table, and you'll probably hate yourself forever. Why not head over to the pre-order page, which was created in haste and looks that way to boot)
