Time to vote

I know most people aren't yet over having to vote in November and around here some village elections are coming soon.

But it's time to cast your vote for what is really important: Cats or dogs, which make a better comics pet?

Washington Post blogger Michael Cavna poses the question in today's entry of Comic Riffs.

Garfield aside (please), how do you feel about the way dogs and cats are portrayed in the comics?

Sure, there is the usually funny, sometimes touching Earl and Mooch in Mutts; Farley, the dog who literally gave his all in For Better or For Worse; Rover in Red and Rover who Red loves more than anything and Peekaboo, the cat in Rose is Rose whose dexterity never ceases to amaze.

While I'm not fond of books, movies and TV shows that anthropomorphize dogs and cats — they hate that — I do love doggies and kitties in my morning comics.
