Cartoons should skewer reality somewhat and here is an example. We have the juxtaposition of what a person might read to relax, and what her pet would find appealing. The fact that the dog can read (and sit like a person as well) is just something we accept to make the humor work I suppose. I try to draw "specific" furniture as well. I mean, nothing generic. Something real and a little personal. This helps the cartoon from being generic. I like the woman's slightly concerned face here.
