The philosophical cat/dog relationship

I read Rachelle's blog entry about the comic 'pup' which is a cartoon online which is based on the relationship of a philosophical dog and his gullible friend the cat. The title of the cartoon she discusses is "Deep Thoughts" which can be viewed at: http://www.drewweing.com/pup/04pup.html. Rachell does a very good job in discussing the technical and stylistic asspects of the comic in relation to to McCloud's, Understanding Comics, using many of his terms to describe the layout and representation that the comic uses to illustrate it's contents to it's readers. I found the comic to be simple yet unique and felt as though it did a nice job of relaying a humorus and simple idea to the reader.
