At least nobody is talking about pooping, OK? Just give me this

Marvin, 4/18/26

OK, I kind of ... well, like is a strong word, but I appreciate what Marvin is going for here. At first you're like, "Ha ha, of course you can't turn on the TV! You're a dog!" But then you find out that the actual reason is that he could use the remote to turn the TV on or off, but he doesn't know where it is because [comical BOI-OI-OING noise] he hid it. Both the using and (to an admittedly lesser extent) the hiding of this object are not particularly dog-like, so the twist is ... well, funny is a strong word, but at least it's mildly interesting. I guess it's best if we don't get into the antagonistic relationship he has with the humans in the house that would've led to him hiding it in the first place.
