Transcript:
Ludwig: May I speak with you?
Ludwig: I think the role of the cat in this strip should be more anthropomorphic!
Arlo: "Anthropomorphic"! That's a mighty big word for a cat to be using.
Ludwig: How big a word do you think a cat should use?
The only wat to improve A&J would be a meeting between the cat & a garbage truck; the non-cat strips range from funny to genius, the cat strips are invariably non-funny. And, cats are evil.
Wikipedia: Anthropomorphism, or personification, is attribution of human form or other characteristics to anything other than a human being. Examples include depicting deities with human form and ascribing human emotions or motives to forces of nature, such as hurricanes or earthquakes.

If the cat wants to be anthropomorphic, he should be wearing pants.

Love the emphasis on the drawing, especially panel 1, an anthropomorphic way for a cat to get up on the couch.

No! No! The humans need to be more like cats. Less talk, more action, (or lack of action, as the case may be).

If Luddie were more like Scooby Doo, that could work.

I thought maybe it meant colorless cat.

No more animals. Fewer!

Good grief. I had to look that up. Apparently I’m dumber than the cat.
