"Marmaduke" has shamed our newspapers and periodicals for decades by now; it is pretty amazing how the following three plots can be exployed in so many various ways.

1. Marmaduke is a large dog.

2. Marmaduke sometimes acts like a human.

3. Marmaduke frequently inconveniences his owners.

Still, the various nuances of the comics baffle today's finest scholars. Well, no longer. Blogger "Joe Mathlete" has shouldered the tremendous burden of explaining the adventures and misadventures of the mammoth canine.

This is probably my favorite interpretation yet, mostly due to the tone of the analysis.

edit: No, wait, this one is.
