The image from Dogs Are Dumb seems to be a better fit for Go Fetch. Replacement suggestion: first panel

I can't look at the suggestion ATM, but I'm not certain that the current is a good fit for Go Fetch as that appears to be about distracting animals by having them fetch something.

[up] Indeed. And the first panel from the suggested replacement is from a comic that outright makes the human character out to be a hypocrite for his reasons to consider the dog dumb.

Not sure yet what to suggest as a replacement, but for now I'd like to inquire why the page quotation writes Burns' name as "Mr. Burns" the first time and "Mr. B.urns" the second time. Is that by mistake or by design?

[up]Probably a mistake, since the original source likely wouldn't include the naming text.

As for the suggestion, I don't like how it needed to have someone spell out the trope (that the dog's particular action is dumb) for it to work. I'm fine with the current, but if it's is too close to Go Fetch, then maybe these could work? [1] [2]

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus.
