About Brad Anderson: Marmaduke’s Legendary Creator
It’s impossible to talk about funny dog cartoons without celebrating Brad Anderson, the genius behind Marmaduke. Launching the big, lovable Great Dane into newspaper comic strips in 1954, Anderson’s Marmaduke quickly became a household name, charming millions of readers with his outrageous size, stubborn streak, and undeniable doggy charm. Over a career spanning more than 60 years, Anderson’s knack for capturing the hilarious realities of life with an oversized dog earned him the National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Award and a spot in the hearts of dog lovers worldwide.
#1 “Marmaduke Has Better Homeowner’s Insurance Than We Do.”
Marmaduke’s house isn’t just a doghouse—it’s an insurance agent’s nightmare. When the family realizes their pooch is living better than they are, it’s a classic case of priorities gone to the dogs. The gag? Marmaduke’s destructive potential is so legendary, even the neighbors know he’s the true homeowner. Forget barking—this dog’s a demolition crew in fur.
#2 “How’s the Lesson in Sharesies Going So Far?”
Nothing says ‘family harmony’ like a turf war on the sofa. As the family patriarch attempts to mediate between a grumpy Marmaduke and a hissing cat, we get the perfect snapshot of pet sibling rivalry. In this house, “sharing” is just a suggestion—and Marmaduke’s not buying it.
#3 “Nothing is Junk to Marmaduke.”
If you’ve got a dog who hoards socks, try living with Marmaduke. Here, every abandoned object in the yard is a prized possession, and the family is left cleaning up after his four-legged ‘recycling’ program. It’s a hoarder’s paradise with a slobbery twist.
#4 “I Sense That You Want Me to Leave.”
Dog park dating is tough when your wingman has zero chill. Marmaduke’s awkward attempt at mingling with a posh poodle turns into a masterclass in canine cringe. Sometimes, you just know when it’s time to leash up and move on.
#5 “Marmaduke Is Clean, But Now I Need a Bath.”
Who gets dirtier during dog bath time—the dog or the human? This comic answers the question with a resounding, soggy “humans every time.” After the chaos, Marmaduke comes out spotless, but his owner… not so much.
#6 “Exactly Why Did You Let Marmaduke Caddy for You?!!?”
Golf and Great Danes don’t mix. Marmaduke’s idea of being a caddy involves chewing every club in sight and turning the fairway into a chew toy graveyard. If you ever wanted an excuse for a bad score, blame the dog.
#7 “Marmaduke Won’t Eat Anything That Is on Sale.”
Budget dog? Not in this household. Marmaduke’s gourmet tastes refuse anything that’s “buy one, get one free.” High maintenance, thy name is Marmaduke. At least you know he’s got standards.
#8 “Why Do We Even Bother Buying Him Dog Beds of His Own?”
Every dog parent has faced this: you buy the fancy bed, but the dog prefers your spot. Marmaduke, of course, takes up half the mattress and all the covers, leaving the humans wondering why they even bother.
#9 “Marmaduke Wants You to Win. He Barks During My Backswing.”
Golf tip: Don’t bring your dog as your silent partner. Marmaduke’s strategy for helping? Barking at all the wrong moments. Suddenly, every missed shot makes perfect sense.
#10 “I Walked By Him Without Giving Him a Belly Rub.”
Ever felt judged by your dog? This panel captures the ultimate canine guilt trip. Marmaduke sits in the yard, looking personally offended while the owner is banished to the doghouse. Moral: belly rubs are not optional.
#11 “I Think He Swallowed a Magnet.”
Worksite woes meet canine curiosity in this panel. Marmaduke is suddenly attracting every tool in sight—literally. The construction crew looks on in disbelief as their equipment becomes dog accessories. Leave it to Marmaduke to take “metal dog” to a new level.
#12 “No Fair! Marmaduke Has More Social Media Views Than I Do.”
Modern problems, dog edition. Marmaduke’s antics have gone viral, leaving the kids (and probably half the internet) jealous of his fame. Who knew chasing the mailman would get so many likes?
#13 “I Told You… Stop Saying, ‘You Cute Biiiig Baaaabeee.’”
Affection comes at a price—usually, it’s a giant dog in your lap. When Marmaduke hears the magic words, he launches himself for a full-body hug, reminding everyone that “lap dog” is just a state of mind.
#14 “If I’m Going to Babysit Him Too, We Need to Up My Pay.”
Babysitting one kid is hard enough. Add Marmaduke, and suddenly it’s overtime pay territory. The dog’s got puppy dog eyes and zero sense of personal space. Babysitter beware.
#15 “You Remember Marmaduke’s Birthday, But You Forgot Our Anniversary?”
Relationship priorities are exposed when Marmaduke’s party gets the full birthday treatment while the humans’ special date is left in the doghouse. Honestly, can you blame them? Look at that face.
#16 “Marmaduke! Do You Know How the Vacuum Cleaner Got in the Trash Barrel?”
Marmaduke has a unique sense of “helping” with chores. In this case, he’s trying to rid the world of that noisy, scary vacuum—straight into the trash. Honestly, he’s just protecting the family, right?
#17 “Marmaduke Is a Very Generous Donor.”
Church collection plate? Marmaduke takes it literally, offering up who-knows-what as his contribution. One thing’s for sure: his heart (and paws) are in the right place, even if his donation isn’t exactly currency.
#18 “Marmaduke Doesn’t Seem to Understand… I’m the Walk-er and He’s the Walk-ee.”
Who’s walking whom? Marmaduke’s got places to go and people to drag, while his owner is just along for the ride (if they can keep up). Every big dog parent knows this struggle.
#19 “We’ll Hide in the Closet, and When He Goes for a Drink of Water, We’ll Grab the Bed.”
Operation reclaim-the-bed is underway. The only thing standing between the humans and a good night’s sleep? Marmaduke’s naptime routine. Spoiler: the humans never win.
#20 “There Was a Piece of Cake on This Plate Before I Looked Out the Window.”
Turn your back for one second and—whoops, there goes your dessert! Marmaduke’s food-stealing skills are world-class, and the look on his face says he’s not sorry.
