'''''Horndog''''' is an American comic strip created by [[Isaac M. Baranoff]] and published by [[Mystic Studios Productions]]. It focuses on '''Bob''', a skirt-chasing [[canine]] [[wikipedia:Cannabis (drug)|marijuana]] user who often finds himself in surreal adventures, often involving a variety of sexual experiences.

Since its introduction, it has attained a strong cult following and appraisal from varied cartoonists from both the mainstream and underground scenes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.myspace.com/officialhorndog |title=Comments |accessdate=2009-09-15 |publisher=MySpace}}</ref>

== History ==

Baranoff first created ''Horndog'' in 2003 as an [[wikipedia:underground comix|underground comic]]. It is published by Mystic Studios Productions.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.myspace.com/mysticstudiosproductions |title=Mystic Studios Productions |accessdate=2009-09-15 |publisher=MySpace}}</ref> The online edition of the strip began in 2009, and was hosted on [[wikipedia:Geocities|Geocities]], before moving to [[wikipedia:Angelfire|Angelfire]], and later to Smack Jeeves. The strip has remained independently published in all of its incarnations. Baranoff is not a furry, and has stated that he does not consider cartoons to be "furry", although he does not mind the use of the term from fans of the comic.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://twitter.com/isaacbaranoff/status/8870399938 |title=Yeah, the line is really blurred. I don't consider cartoons "furry". |publisher=Twitter |accessdate=21 February 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://twitter.com/isaacbaranoff/status/8877395766 |title=(1/2) I wouldn't mind if someone called my comic "furry" if they liked the strip. If they hate the strip, it just adds insult to |publisher=Twitter |accessdate=21 February 2010}}</ref>

The strip primarily focuses on Bob, a smooth talking dog whose key interests are acquiring cannabis, and sex. His day to day life is often unusual, as he was once buried alive, and his former roommate, Freddy, returned from the dead on multiple occasions, after committing suicide. Bob is often seen engaging in a series of one night stands, and is in an open relationship with Charlene. Leonard is Bob's best friend, sharing the majority of his interests, such as hip hop music and marijuana.

Bob's roommate, Tommy, does not use drugs, but is still called upon to purchase marijuana for the group, and is arrested and jailed. Tommy manages to avoid prison after the police smoke all of the evidence.

''Horndog'' is set on a planet — or alternate dimension — which closely resembles Earth in its development, culture and structure, but is inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. The strip establishes that the setting retains much of the same country and city names as Earth. Although the comic's stories are often surreal in nature, it also explores a number of social issues, including racism, drug use, AIDS and abortion, although dramatic aspects within the strip are rare, and the stories are strongly comedic.

Black cats represent African Americans, with dogs representing whites. The setting is strongly urban, but the actual city name is not specified. The strip strongly favors cannabis use, with hard drug users portrayed unfavorably.
