[0365] Disgrace To The Species
└ posted on Thursday, 5 April 2012, by Novil
Have you already read the news entry about the Sandra and Woo fanart contest 2012 (with prize money)?
- Amadeus: Just look at yourself! You’re digging through the trash for food like a rat. Be glad that your kits can’t see you now.
- Amadeus: Is a half-eaten pizza more important to you than your honor? Don’t you care that you bring shame to all canids?
- Woman: Come, Amadeus, we have to be at the dog groomer in ten minutes.
- Shadow: I’d appreciate the irony more if it came with a half-eaten pizza.

For the record, I had the name first.
Talking about honor and pride…
I find it rather ironic that the dog is talking about the importance of honor, and then leaves with a human to go get pampered at the groomer. Yep, that sure is an honorable thing to do, all right!
I’m sure we’ll look back at this and laugh, someday. For now, it’s harder to find the funny side of this arc.

@ ekimmak: Not all comics have to be funny, especially in this series. Some are morbidly realistic and meant to exemplify rather than offer comedic relief.
Anyway, everyday i anticipate another strip, love Sandra and Woo
“…bring shame to all candids”?
(scoff)
At least Shadow’s not the one being carted off in a ladies handbag.
Ah. Combat modifier: stuck in ridiculous dog handbag -10 to attack, -7 to defence, -15 to dodge, -18 to dignity/charisma. Shadow still wouldn’t be able to finish him, but he ought to be able to bite his nose off… on a roll of 10 or more (modified). Or he could rip one of those floppy ears off on a roll of 7 or more (-3 to nutritional value – just skin and gristle).
Because being a purse dog isn’t disgraceful at all, right? *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*
@ white blanco blanc:
Oh, by all means, I know that. I just find Sandra and Woo is an excellent mix of humour and serious subjects.
Poodle is bringing shame to canids because he’s getting groomed/being put in a bag.
Now I have “rock me Amadeus” going through my head.

Who is putting shame to all candis?
aaaaaaaaaaaw….
*looks around secretively*
*opens window*
*chucks out semi-thawed turkey to Shadow*
Eat well my friend! Foxes have long been my favorite mammals!!

Happy Easter!

Poor, poor Sid. He’ll be greatly missed. Or his legs will.

Yes, and being a prim, prepped, unable to survive in the wild tiny poodle is honourable. Should have eaten the little mutt. Sorry, PUREBRED. Which means it’s inbred, and thus likely has health problems that prevent itfurther, besides its small size, from surviving alone. A testament to the species.
Easy to preach about pride and honor when you live in luxury. And how is sacrificing your honor to search for food in the most miserable of places for your kits NOT honorable? Stupid, spoiled rat-dog.
All you guys commenting about how the poodle is more of a disgrace due to being carried in a bag and taken to a groomer, you realize that was the point and you are stating the obvious right?
This strip is a pretty big example of the Hypocritical Humor trope. No need to Explain The Joke.

it is the old story about the wolf and the hounddog. The wolf rejects the comfortable life of the dog because he understands that, to him, his freedom is much, much more important than food. Way to go, Shadow, Lady Luck will soon kiss you
Shadow… there is something to eat at barbers… I really doubt that white fancy mouse can rezist it.
lol @ rich mans perception of honour (basically “Ugh, I am to holy for that”) and yes, nobody needs to point out hypocrisy when it’s glaringly obvious, and yes i find find it funny.
@ Tendo:
I wonder how would the puddle fare if hand feeding him suddenly had no food to give…
Very few who actualy live out of other people generosity realize that they are just one “catastrophy” from not having anything to eat. Because simply the one paying their lives may not have anything to give tommorow. And usually these “people” are not even modest enough and always want more of others.
Awwr ;;
I find this especially funny because I have a poodle, although it would rather roll arOund in mud than get groomed. Poor shadow, missing out on dinner, getting an earful of yap yap yap.
Man, I hate poodles…!
Dogs go though trash sometimes, so if I was her, I wouldn’t be talking.
Is it wrong that I imagine the poodle has a deep man’s voice? Like Major Armstrong’s?
@ Ryu-Chan:
Best comment Evar!!
I see the word kits being used. Is it meant to be Kids or Kits?
@ Jel:
“Kit” means a baby fox, like words such as “kitten” and “pup” for other animals.
@ Nick/Tyrong:
AND to the humans who did it to him.
@ prime_pm: Hmmm yesh. That poodle has a high whiney stuck up cunt of a voice :3
I have a feeling this is related to how the rich, who are notorious for being overpampered and overindulged, look down upon the poor, known for their struggle for survival, often resorting to trash for survival.
anything I can drop kick over the backyard fence is not what I consider to be a dog!!
@ IndigoRei:
Actually, I think republicans are more likely to be racist…which is kind of ironic all things considered.
That is a really tiny pizza box…. foxes are the size of small dogs after all.
“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, “It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.” It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: “if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?” There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.”
-Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five
How come nobody else noticed the flaw in the title? “Canids” is not a species, it’s a family, 2 levels of categorization higher than species.
“Bring shame to all canids?” Sheesh!
@ Kracka:
Or anything that bounces when it barks…
Bad Poodle! *smacks poodle on the nose with a rolled up newspaper*
*crys a cause this is the last commic so far*
The biggest irony of all is that most poodles would hate being carried like that. XD
My poodle was a tough little guys – you wouldn’t catch him dead in a purse!
But I suppose I’ve never had a sense of honor. I’m sure that any wild animal would give their left foot to have a steady supply of food.
@ WolfieMario:
Ahh I’ve learnt a new word. Thanks.
this supports my theory that all poodles are evil and have serious brain damage

@ Nick/Tyrong:
as much as id like to “bash the poodle” i have to say one thing….poodles where actually first breed for war…..thire very mean, and that fancy fur style is actually designed to protect all the vital parts of thire body and leave the rest for mobility…..but that was a long time ago and thire roles in society have changed a bit….AND THEY NEVER STOP BARKING!!!!!! it drives me mad!
