This rejected New Yorker comic comes from The Best of the Rejection Collection: 293 Cartoons That Were Too Dumb, Too Dark, or Too Naughty for The New Yorker, and was created by Harry Bliss. It would’ve been one of their most-recirculated had it been approved — maybe even bigger than this one.
If you don’t get the joke, ask anyone who has a dog. And in case you were wondering, the proper response for such a question — unless you’ve got some really relaxed boundaries (and hey, more power to you) — is “I’m your friend, but I’m not that friend.”
Thanks to Inside Hook for the find!

Great philosophy BUT I NEED MORE INFORMATION!
Well - I DO remember ZOMBIES! First had one in 1953 on the deck of a small cruiser in/on Long Island Sound and it was so-o-o good that the afternoon just spun by! Anyone remember how to make them? I doubt that they're in Julia Child's cook book - THAT I STILL HAVE - I think!
In re the trope that every New Yorker cartoon can be made funnier with the caption "Christ, what an asshole": Give it 20 seconds.
It should be "to ask of you."
Please credit the cartoonist!

Good One !
Hilarious!
I agree, but it's my cartoon, so I'm biased. You should give credit to the artist though, seems appropriate...

Okay, I'm a dog owner, and I don't get it. One dog can't take a cone off of another.
