Dogzilla (picture book)
Dogzilla is a children's picture book created by Dav Pilkey that parodies Godzilla with a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Harcourt, Inc. published this title in 1993. According to Pilkey, “The illustrations in this book are manipulated photographic collage, heavily retouched with acrylic paint.”[1] The photographs of the animals are of Pilkey's own pets. The book is dedicated to John “The Rapper” Wills. As a joke, the book has been rated EG, meaning “Extremely Goofy.” This book is a sequel to Kat Kong which spoofs King Kong.

gollark: … like using more annoying shoes? why?
