Description

Well, here's something I never thought I'd see myself doing. But then again I've always had a nack for giving attention to one shot underrated characters. And here's another one; Watch Dog from the cartoon "Dog City", which was an animated TV series that aired in 1993, three years before Road Rovers. Now, its to my knowledge that not many people would know who this is. So allow me to fill you in. Watch Dog is a character who appeared in a certain episode of the said series. He was a superhero from a comicbook series being developed by this guy named Fob Canine. But when crime was spreading around Dog City, Fob Canine assumed the role of his own fictional character to fight crime. But this was all too suspicious to Ace, as Watch Dog would often allow criminals to get away after busting them. Ace interviews Watch Dog creator Fob Canine, who is less than helpful. A direct encounter with the Watch Dog, however, proves that his courage and bravado is largely feigned (or at least restrained by a rehearsed script). Ace reveales the hero as Fob Canine himself, in league with the Labrador Gang (actually comic book artists). Ace reluctantly agrees to help the Watch Dog go out with a bang, not a whimper. A final staged caper is planned, but Bugsy (equally jealous of the Labradors' notoriety) complicates the script. The Watch Dog finally comes through, however, saving the day for the last time. Meanwhile, Eliot is pleased to discover that Artie has finally learned that reading a good hero yarn is more exciting than just playing with action figures. From what I understand, Watch Dog himself was intended as a parody or even a homage to Batman due to his similar costume design. As his name implies, Watch Dog's theme consists of an assortment of weaponized clocks, hence the watches on his wrists, chest, and belt buckle.
