JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH OWNER-MAN'S TORSO.

I fully understand that nobody edits these things for clarity, or to make sure there's a joke in every strip, but shouldn't there be somebody to tell Brad Anderson (or whichever one of his stable of ghost-sketchers he paid ten dollars to draw this one) that he needs to FINISH DRAWING HIS FUCKING CARTOONS BEFORE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BE IN A NEWSPAPER.

Marmaduke was arrested for public intoxication. The original caption referenced this, but it was changed at the last minute since you're not allowed to talk about alcoholism in the funnies (except maybe in the recent, socially-relevant Funky Winkerbean strips, and possibly Luann if you tie it in with someone having their first period).
