Merge proposal

I would suggest that this article could be easily boiled down to a paragraph (without the transcript) and inserted into the Democratic Party (United States) presidential debates, 2008. One barely controversial comment in a speech does not warrant an entire article. —Noah 17:37, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Agree it doesn't warrent an entire article, or we're going to end up with articles for every soundbite uttered. imo it should simply be added to Wikiquote for Clinton. Flatterworld (talk) 08:59, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikiquote is a good suggestion. Let's wait a few days to see if anyone else has something to say. —Noah 07:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I think we should leave it like thatmangqina-Mazondo (talk) 23:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Merge and transwiki Merge the content into Democratic Party (United States) presidential debates, 2008 and transwiki the transcript to wikisource. This phrase isnt important enough to warrant its own article'--Shizzy9989 (talk) 00:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree, merge it. 64.53.221.158 (talk) 00:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

-'''''Marmaduke''''' is a [[newspaper]] [[comic strip]] drawn by [[Brad Anderson (cartoonist)|Brad Anderson]] from [[1954]] to the present day. The strip was created by Anderson, with help from Phil Leeming (1955-1962) and later Dorothy Leeming (1963-1969).  The strip revolves around the Winslow family and their [[Great Dane]], Marmaduke. The strip on Sundays also has a side feature called "Dog Gone Funny," in which one or more panels are devoted to dog anecdotes submitted by the fans. Anderson received the [[National Cartoonist Society]] Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for the strip in 1978.

-* '''Marmaduke''' - A great dane. Marmaduke lives with the Winslow family and exhibits many characteristics not typically displayed by dogs.
-* '''Dottie''' - Housewife of the family whose daily life would probably be a lot less of a hassle if she didn't have Marmaduke around.
-* '''Phil''' - The head of the household. Phil loves his dog despite Marmaduke's antics but, not surprisingly, gets fed up once in a while.
-* '''Barbara''' - The Winslow's oldest child, also known as "Barbie".
-* '''Billy''' - The youngest Winslow. Billy is somewhat more at the mercy of Marmaduke than the others, as he is still dwarfed by the family pet.
-== Animation ==
-[[Ruby-Spears]] produced ''Marmaduke'' segments for the [[animated series]] ''[[Heathcliff (1980 TV series)|Heathcliff]]'', whose title character was also based on a comic strip character. In this animated version, the male characters were voiced by [[Paul Winchell]] and the females were voiced by [[Russi Taylor]].  Marmaduke also made a cameo appearance as an intentional "mistake" in an episode of ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' and the episode is called [[Mistakes Will Happen]]. At the
-very end of [[Mistakes Will Happen]], Garfield is making a promise to us or the audience that there will never be another mistake
-on the show again until Garfield breaks his promise and Odie is replaced by Marmaduke, then Garfield and Marmaduke go to the
-kitchen for a 10 a.m midnight snack.
