OMG WTF CONTINUITY

Marmaduke creator Brad Anderson crafted a zany gag so epic and layered it required two consecutive days to tell it. The breakdown: Marmaduke is trying to read his owner-man's newspaper before Owner Man is finished with it, in multiple distracting and insubordinate fashions, even though he is a dog (dogs can't read newspapers, or anything else).

Marmaduke is tentative about venturing into Spooky Haunted Rape Forest.

Marmaduke is aggressively Tiananmen Square-ing a couple of pushover garbagemen.

Marmaduke sexually harassed a police officer just to get his owner-man in trouble, and by the looks of the (uncomfortably breast-level) raspberry he is blowing at his owner-lady, he would do it again in a heartbeat.

Marmaduke hasn't terrorized his fat elderly neighbor in a fortnight. This warrants a friendly visit from the curious egg-shaped gentleman, smartly dressed in a dapper pork pie hat/vest/slacks/old man sneakers combo.

Marmaduke is subordinate to the moon.

Marmaduke smelled pizza on a pedestrian's breath and began violently licking the man's face off.

Marmaduke dragged his owner-man through Disney World.

Marmaduke is about to go on a date. His owner-lady makes an unfathomably distasteful double entendre about Marmaduke's girlfriend, Snyder.

Marmaduke is mildly rebuked by his owner-lady (who says she would prefer a subtler and less aggressive courtship) as he prepares to fuck the living daylights out of her.
