Watchdog

"Still, judging by your face, I think you, too, are a good-natured dog." "I beg your pardon, I am not a dog!" "What are you, then?" "I am a Marionette." "Are you taking the place of the watchdog?" "I'm sorry to say that I am. I'm being punished." "Well, I shall make the same terms with you that we had with the dead Melampo. I am sure you will be glad to hear them." "And what are the terms?""

Surprisingly, there are many similarities between these two works. The dog house, the pose of Pinocchio, the shackle around his neck, and even the weasel's dark features resemble each other's work. However, one difference might be that Kirk's illustrations are much more realistic than Grimly's imaginative dark world where everything is jagged, crooked, and uneven. It is also important to notice that this is the moment where Pinocchio tricks the weasel and actively participates in a good deed and helps the farmer to capture the chicken thief.
