Gratuitous anthropomorphism?


Why is Penrod a anthropomorphized dog in a world full of human characters, especially considering his cat...is just a cat?

Uh, it's called evolution. It's very animaliaphobic to assume that he was merely a representative of the lesser species Canis lupus familiaris. Cats clearly do not have the genetic potential for bipedalism, speech, menial civil service jobs and the martial arts - despite the propagandist lies of those forged Thundercats "documentaries". Cats will stay cats. Dogs will further progress as integrated members of society - albeit in lower caste strata. From such circumstances, a crime-fighting alter ego will most certainly arise.

Let's see who takes the bait.

Can't argue with that.
