Brian

ode to Brian Griffin, for though he may be a cartoon dog, whose presence graces the halls of Family Guy, he is an Atheist dog, the first of its kind who keeps a gun & a bottle of scotch in his safety deposit box for the day when HE decides this place is too much & chooses to end it. though he may be a shitty writer, a male chauvinist of sorts & occasionally he will eat Stewie’s feces or somebody else’s vomit, he is, for better or for worse, the kind of cartoon character that we need out there--- the kind of cartoon character that stops lying to kids, painting them pretty pictures of an afterlife, or an overlooking force who will come to one’s aid when trouble arises--- he instead is there for the family he lives with, on this planet (though animated) & this planet alone--- it is no surprise that the master of wit who created the series & does the majority of the voices on the show, resembles the dog in real life, idealistically & charismatically--- merci beaucoup, Mr. Macfarlane, merci.
