Merlin's Childhood

Yes, the green cat in the last panel is Bob! Did you know that this is the first strip where there is more than one shade of the same color? Yup! Orange (logo box and where Merlin eats his ear) and red. The red change is very subtle. The two shades are the shade of Moe's pants (also the background of the last panel) and the red behind the fish tank. There is also a different shade of skin color. Behind the dad dog's glasses.

The term "only dog" is a term taken from a late 1950s Peanuts strip.
