The original was commissioned by Brown&Bigelow to advertise cigars and this one was most printed from the series.
In the ‘modern’ version few of the dogs have been replaced by well known dogs from cartoons that in their shows are more or less anthropomorphized the same as C. Coolidge had anthropomorphized his painted dogs.
I think the replacements have been made carefully and every cartoon character mach the original. In the original the most intimidating is the Dog who is replaced with Stich (who is not even a dog and can destroy everything in his path) but both of them usually are gentle. Then Scooby – the funniest and mischievous cartoon has replaced a dog that seems to be planning something impish. And both Pluto and the original dog have something enjoyable in their mouths and they do not look stressed about the game. And I guess Oddie is not allowed at the table because he is quite stupid.
I think this idea of adding cartoons to popular work of arts is really interesting and I hope it will continue to develope.
