This thread reminded me of a book I read as a kid, an adaptation of beowulf where the main character was a beagle or some shit. But I cannot for the life of me find it by searching, and even ChatGPT has no fricking clue what I'm talking about.
Can anybody else remember what I'm talking about or is this one of those things we imagine as kids?
Dog-lovers base their whole case on these commonplace, servile, and plebeian qualities, and amusingly judge the intelligence of a pet by its degree of conformity to their own wishes.
Catlovers escape this delusion, repudiate the idea that cringing subservience and sidling companionship to man are supreme merits, and stand free to worship aristocratic independence, self-respect, and individual personality joined to extreme grace and beauty as typified by the cool, lithe, cynical, and unconquered lord of the housetops.
The dog barks and begs and tumbles to amuse you when you crack the whip. That pleases a meekness-loving peasant who relishes a stimulus to his sense of importance.
And just as inferior people prefer the inferior animal which scampers excitedly because somebody else wants something,
so do superior people respect the superior animal which lives its own life and knows that the puerile stick-throwings of alien bipeds are none of its business and beneath its notice.
To serve and protect with a purpose is not servility. You probably need to love and nurture something, someone to get beyond the master/servant mentality.
dogs are like morons. they're too stupid for their optimism to ever go away, barring persomal trauma. they'll never know about bullshit like politics or money. having a dog is like raising a child without having to worry about difficult conversations. dogs don't even have a concept of their own mortality. dog owners aren't wannabe slaveowners, they're touchstarved autists.

Frick both of you Black folk. It was a dumb joke. I watched Wishbone as a kid. And I'm the unhinged one? Jesus Christ. Take your meds and stop sucking off your dogs.
>As they were speaking, a dog that had been lying asleep raised his head and pricked up his ears. This was Argos, whom Odysseus had bred before setting out for Troy, but he had never had any enjoyment from him. In the old days he used to be taken out by the young men when they went hunting wild goats, or deer, or hares, but now that his master was gone he was lying neglected on the heaps of mule and cow dung that lay in front of the stable doors till the men should come and draw it away to manure the great close; and he was full of fleas. As soon as he saw Odysseus standing there, he dropped his ears and wagged his tail, but he could not get close up to his master. When Odysseus saw the dog on the other side of the yard, dashed a tear from his eyes without Eumaeus seeing it, and said:
>'Eumaeus, what a noble dog that is over yonder on the manure heap: his build is splendid; is he as fine a fellow as he looks, or is he only one of those dogs that come begging about a table, and are kept merely for show?'
>'This dog,' answered Eumaeus, 'belonged to him who has died in a far country. If he were what he was when Odysseus left for Troy, he would soon show you what he could do. There was not a wild beast in the forest that could get away from him when he was once on its tracks. But now he has fallen on evil times, for his master is dead and gone, and the women take no care of him. Servants never do their work when their master's hand is no longer over them, for Zeus takes half the goodness out of a man when he makes a slave of him.'
>So saying he entered the well-built mansion and made straight for the riotous pretenders in the hall. But Argos passed into the darkness of death, now that he had fulfilled his destiny of faith and seen his master once more after twenty years.
I read Muttketeer with my son last year, at one point it makes reference to Wishbone hiding inside of a "dank hole". I wish I'd taken a picture, made me chuckle audibly as I read.

Anyone else remember the Wishbone’s Odyssey computer game?
Where can i find this and other old children kino like reading rainbow and mr ridgers neighborhood? I want my daughter to have something worthwhile to watch and not the dribble that is on YouTube kids
> Mr rodgers
It may be more wholesome that what’s out now but i’ve recently torrented the entire series and been back in his 70s era he goes in about how we should be nicer to changs and Blacks (my words not his)…that not what i want to be teaching my children
Thanks to this dog and his cliff notes summaries, I passed all my AP English classes through 12th grade with As without ever reading any of the books. I knew the basic plot summaries of the books and filled in the inner meaning of the book with random bullshit, because the inner meaning of all literature is random bullshit.

I don’t remember the Nigbone episode, or any black characters, but apparently there were some black kids in the group that I completely forgot about. I mainly remember the dog and the theme song.
does anyone have the clip of the wishbone outtake where the dog is given medicine and asked by the doctor "how do you feel?" and the dog responds with a coughing and a shake which leads to all the cast members laughing at how good the dog's acting was?
The show was shot in Dallas and was as non-union as you could get. It's the same thing as Godzilla Minus One. If you don't have to waste money on union bullshit you can focus your budget on actual production value.
Wishbone was certified children’s programming kino. I had one of the novelizations when I was a kid.
>a novelization of a show based on books
U wot m8? Just read the book, silly.
I did, eventually.

and they wonder why hollywoods gone down hill
damn not allowed to hurt animals, shucks
Entirely shot in a suburbs of Dallas.
Where's the sticky?

God speed Wishbone
This just made 2001 my least favorite year.
Lmfao

>Died just before the entire world went to pure shit
Maybe his death was the catalyst
>2001
reminds me of that tragedy
I didn't even know he was sick
Saddest 2001 event
I'll miss you, buddy

Worst thing to happen that year.
Why was he at the WTC?
wishbone is dead by now

If you say so, H.P., now tell me about Black folk.

Satan, dogs are genetically bred for servility.

You, on the other and, are lower than squid shit. Lower than the lowest street shitting Pajeet troon.

cat-lovers are just pathetic beta homosexuals who are subservient to a much smaller, weaker creature who treats them like shit
don't act like you masochism is somehow "noble", you are just a fricking pussy who like being treated like dirt by some moronic little furball

This was my first introduction to Faust and The Imaginary Invalid
I learned the word “indolent” from Wishbone’s version of The Time Machine.

this is the writing they used to make for kids.
I dread to think what its like now
Bro this is from the Odyssey
Not a kids book
I would think a rewrite with dogs marketed via a children's show would, in fact, be intended for children.
Exactly how moronic are you?
Gets me every time
unfathomably based
I read Muttketeer with my son last year, at one point it makes reference to Wishbone hiding inside of a "dank hole". I wish I'd taken a picture, made me chuckle audibly as I read.
Did the futurama writers read this for that one episode?
Anyone else remember the Wishbone’s Odyssey computer game?
He's on the list

All PBS shows have pretty high production values due to be subsidized by the government, corporations, and viewers like you.
Thank you
Thanks Robert’s Wood Johnson Foundation.

Always had a crush on Sam. Goddamn I love tomboys brehs
THEY FLY NOW?!
>they're evolving too fast doctor!
>dear God what have we done...
Looking back it's ridiculous that when thinking of some of the famous literary works I think of stupid skits from Wishbone.
Lads…
>She starts liking fricking Dumont of all people.
Wishbone was pretty redpilled.
Nah, the actor was the son of wishbone’s creator. Unless you mean nepotism as the redpill
A young Amy Acker got her start on Wishbone, that's pretty cool.
>You have to pretend to want to frick a dog.
>"Pretend?"
she's kinda hot
she ever get nekkie?
are you guys moronic, the show was airing in the 90s and dogs don't live 20 years, you couldve put two and two together before
That's a dog! A dog, I'm telling you! Why won't anyone believe me!?
does anyone have the clip of the wishbone outtake where the dog is given medicine and asked by the doctor "how do you feel?" and the dog responds with a coughing and a shake which leads to all the cast members laughing at how good the dog's acting was?
I like these dogs
Bark back bark Bork Bork bark bark
guau-guau meong, meong
