Marmaduke is a newspaper comic strip drawn by Brad Anderson from 1954 to the present day. The strip was created by Anderson, with help from Phil Leeming (1955–1962) and later Dorothy Leeming (1963–1969). The strip revolves around the Winslow family and their Great Dane, Marmaduke. The strip on Sundays also has a side feature called "Dog Gone Funny", in which one or more panels are devoted to dog anecdotes submitted by the fans. Anderson, who says he draws on Laurel and Hardy routines for his ideas, received the National Cartoonists Society Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for the strip in 1978. Marmaduke – A Great Dane. Marmaduke lives with the Winslow family and exhibits many characteristics not typically displayed by dogs. Dottie – Housewife of the family whose daily life would probably be a lot less of a hassle if she didn't have Marmaduke around. Phil – The head of the household. Phil loves his dog despite Marmaduke's antics but, not surprisingly, gets fed up once in a while. Marmaduke (Picture 1). Marmaduke cartoon images gallery 1. Marmaduke cartoon pictures collection 1. Barbara – The Winslows' older child, also known as "Barbie". Billy – The younger Winslow child. Billy is somewhat more at the mercy of Marmaduke than the others, as he is still dwarfed by the family pet. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder – The Winslows' neighbors. Brad Anderson won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award for Newspaper Panel Cartoon in 1978, and the George Arents Pioneer Medal for Syracuse University alumni in 1999. Marmaduke continues to be widely syndicated, and is popular with readers: attempts to cancel Marmaduke have drawn protest, such as those by readers of The Toronto Star in 1999, of the Sarasota Herald Tribune in 2007, and of the Chicago Sun-Times in 1986. Despite this, its longevity and perceived monotony have been noted by satirical publications such as The Onion, and made it a butt of jokes, or "a hot source of retro-ironic-subversive humor": a blog called "Joe Mathlete Explains Today's Marmaduke" deconstructs the strip to offer an alternative explanation for what's happening in the drawing; another blog called "Marmaduke Can Vote" gives each panel a political slant; and "The Marmaduke Project" re-imagines Marmaduke in other forms. In his satirical analysis at The Comic Strip Doctor, David Malki of Wondermark ranked Marmaduke among "the worst newspaper comic strips" alongside Heathcliff, Family Circus and Dennis the Menace.
