Marmaduke is wearing a pair of specially-modified dog skis on his daily walk through his neighborhood, where it has recently snowed. His owner-lady pleads with him not to get carried away and attempt any dangerous maneuvers, but truth be told, Owner-Lady forfeited any and all rights to her own physical well-being the moment she allowed herself to be dragged behind a monstrous Great Dane on skis who lives to torment and humiliate her. The shit-eating grin on Marmaduke's face indicates that fancy slalom stuff was a foregone conclusion.

Marmaduke is harassing a street person.

Marmaduke's ferocious hula-hooping threatens the structural integrity of his family's home.

Dearest Joe Mathlete,

I am in love you your blog, "Joe Mathlete Explains Today's Marmaduke". I love it so much, that I made a post on my own blog explaining an equally lame comic strop, Family Circus, in your style.

Anyhoo, I was wondering if you would exchange links with me (I link to your blog, you link to mine, we both benefit). You don't have to, but it would make me very happy :).

Regards,
Brian

Marmaduke likes to stand by houseplants and breathe on them until they die. His owner-lady has given this uncharacteristically subtle destruction of her property a name.

Marmaduke was invited by his owner-girl to play "doctor" with a neighborhood boy. Owner-Girl only invited Marmaduke along so that she could make a terrible, terrible dog-related pun, and Marmaduke only agreed in order to have the chance to combine two of the most deviant sexual taboos in Western Culture.

Marmaduke is committing so many different breaches in drive-thru protocol at the local Pic-Up Burger that I don't even know where to begin. Also, judging by the prices of the various food items, Marmaduke creator Brad Anderson has not patronized a fast-food establishment since the 1980s.

Marmaduke is lashing out at a rug, blaming it for his own reckless clumsiness. Owner-Lady's desperate plea for logic is wholly ignored.

Marmaduke donned a half-assed ghost costume in an attempt to scare his owner-man into increasing the temperature of their house. Owner-Man somehow understands Marmaduke's obtusely-communicated desire, but adamantly refuses the beast's entreaty.

I was on vacation or something last week

Because it was Thanksgiving. But now I'm not, 'cuz it's no longer Thanksgiving. I probably should have mentioned this earlier. Expect something similar around late December / early January, but for now here's some more of the stupid dog comics with my words underneath.
