A Laugh-Packed Look at Life with Man’s Best Friend
#1 The Ultimate Squirrel Revenge
What’s more satisfying than finally catching a squirrel? Absolutely nothing, if you ask this dog. The owner’s resigned smirk says it all—he’s lost the chase and the war. This cartoon perfectly captures that moment every dog owner knows: when the dog wins, they don’t just win, they gloat. Bliss nails it with the joyful absurdity of victory celebrated in a tree hollow.
#2 Clifford DNA Confirmed
This one’s for anyone who’s ever asked “What kind of dog is that?” and gotten a breed cocktail in response. The punchline? One part fictional giant dog. Bliss hilariously exaggerates the pup’s caboose proportions, and the straight-faced delivery makes it even funnier. Clifford, your legacy lives on in mystery mutts everywhere.
#3 Fetch Fail
Oops. That awkward moment when your dog enthusiastically retrieves a totally innocent man instead of the twig. This is classic Bliss—misunderstandings made epic by a clueless but excited canine missile. The composition, timing, and perfect deadpan humor remind us that dogs don’t just follow commands—they reinterpret them.
#4 Surf Pup in Action
One of the funniest joys of pet ownership is when they randomly reveal superpowers. Enter: the body-surfing dog. This comic is both ridiculous and genius, imagining your average pooch catching waves like it’s no big deal. Bliss’s minimal beach background makes the dog the literal wave-riding star.
#5 His Highness, Sir Gooboy
Bow down, peasants. A royal has entered the courtyard. Bliss dials up the irony here—guards stand tall while a fluffy little dog struts through like he owns the medieval kingdom. Because in his mind? He does. It’s a hilarious portrayal of how most dogs already act—regal, adored, and unquestioned.
#6 Ashes to Squirrel
Dark humor? Check. Dog’s eternal rivalry with squirrels? Double check. This comic blends emotion with absurdity, which is Bliss’s signature move. It’s a canine’s version of poetic justice—vengeful ashes raining down like fur-flavored karma. Deep, disturbing, and downright funny.
#7 Who’s Walking Whom?
Ever get the feeling your dog thinks they own you? This cartoon makes it official: the dog’s on the couch, choosing his human walking companion like a royal selecting a butler. Bliss flips the dynamic effortlessly, and it’s a treat for every dog parent who’s ever been summoned by those puppy eyes.
#8 The Squirrel Tree Incident
A line filled with regret and awkwardness. The human might be tired, but that dog is on a mission. Bliss captures the one-track-mind that dogs have when it comes to trees that once held squirrels. Spoiler: they never forget. And they will drag you back to that tree for eternity.
#9 Lassie, It’s Too Late
Harry Bliss turns the heroic canine trope on its head in this hilarious cliffhanger. Literally. Instead of fetching help to save the guy, this dog is already planning the funeral. Dark, dry, and brilliantly subversive—just the kind of twist that makes Bliss’s comics so shareable.
#10 Operation Kibble Theft
It’s Ocean’s Eleven, but with dogs and kibble. This military-style planning session shows just how calculated your average dog could be if they got organized. Cigarette? Check. Secret blueprints? Check. Utter silliness? Absolutely. Bliss masterfully sketches the perfect blend of mafia doggo meets suburban mischief.
Summery
That’s a wrap on these hilarious Dogs Comics by Harry Bliss—each one a playful yet sharp look at how our furry friends view the world. From stealthy snack missions to undying squirrel grudges, Bliss captures canine comedy in every frame.
