I’ve been given the chance to properly page through the Dogman series while on my job and man the amount of layers you can read into what’s happening in here is wild.

-Base layer, you got a man with a dog head fighting crime with his plucky kitten sidekick, and this mostly results in them fighting giant sippy cups and claymation cheesesteaks. They eventually just turn him from a cop into a superhero because Dav Pikley says ACAB.

-The exact same time this is happening the former main villain is having an entire redemption arc exploring his deep-rooted past traumas and the results of restorative vs. punitive justice, kickstarted by inadvertently making a clone son that proved that he wasn’t intrinsically born evil.

-In the meta-textual level, this is all being written by a pair of fifth graders who are able to convey these things at such a young age, and these stories must also be read through the lenses of their own personal thoughts and experiences of under supported ADHD kids finally getting a supportive teacher. I grew up with Harold and George and I’m so, so proud of them. They fought carnivorous robot toilets and brainwashed their principal last year.
