I like it when we find out some kind of folklore like this, that we've never heard about but that clearly always existed in their world.  Like the Great Outdoor Fight was.  I am a sucker for this sort of thing.

This is not a funny strip, no, but the entire idea of a dog clumsily imitating your appearance and behavior -- even to the point of trying to walk, at which point it falls down and starts to sob -- is incredibly unnerving, especially when it's a portent of Bad Things. If this is the beginning of an arc, it could very well be interesting.

The dog trying to drink from a straw is definitely sinister..
I agree this could lead to an interesting arc.

First post btw - hello everyone.

Can I pretend that your nick stands for "Big Naked One"?  Because that would make me laugh.

I think Onstad saw another person that had his characteristics (maybe when he was high) and channeled the drama into Ray.

This wasn't funny for me at first but the whump, just the slow teetering but completely incompetant collapse is causing me to chuckle, chortle even.

Feel free to assign any meaning you like.  Think of it as a blank wall on which to project your thoughts.
I wish I could play the bassoon.

My favourite bit is the little sob the dog gives after it falls over.

  I think I've uncovered your favorite childhood comic:






  And no, I have no idea what's with Krypto's lust puppy expression in that third to last spaceship panel...

Is it really that it's horrifying, or is it merely that others have talked up the horror so that, upon revisiting it, it seems much worse than it did initially?

Actually, I'd have to agree that it is pretty horrifying.  Not the Magreaux dog specifically, but just the thought of seeing a pale simulacrum of oneself just hanging out on the street like that.  Especially if it tried and failed to do something as simple as walking.
