The Angriest Dog in the World is a comic strip created by film director David Lynch. First appearing in 1983, it was one of the originators of the constrained comics movement. The idea behind The Angriest Dog in the World was conceived by Lynch in 1973, during a period he was experiencing feelings of great anger. First published in the L.A Reader, the strip ran from 1983 until 1992. The strip is introduced with a small caption, sometimes omitted by newspapers: Visually each strip is the same. The first three identical panels feature the black dog growling, straining on his chain. He is between a tree on the left and one wall of a house with a window on the right. The fourth panel is the same, but at night with a circle of light coming from the house's window. A word balloon appears in one or more of the panels, indicating speech from a member of one of the house's unseen family, either Bill, Sylvia, Pete, or Billy, Jr. Usually the speech is in the form of an aphorism or a non sequitur. Such sayings include:
