I find the XKCD much less creepy than the actual representation in Bizarro.
Some of the incidental dialogue in that XKCD is rather brilliant!
Thanks, Winter: that panel was left in a basket on my doorstep, but I figured somebody would know what it was.

Yes, ‘disturbing’ was the word I should’ve used, rather than ‘ew’ or ‘creepy’.
The first one was a LOL for me. But then I’ve read, repeatedly, an awful lot of Dr. Seuss.
My guess was that an animal that liked to dress as a human would be a “skinny”.
That would better align with ‘furry’, or ‘scaly’ (sometimes used for anthro (non-avian) reptiles)…
(Of course, anthro hippos, rhinos, elephants, sphinx cats, naked mole rats, and other unfurred creatures are still called furries, so basing the name on the integument or lack thereof is hardly consistent.)
Comics I Don't Understand 
Where did the first panel (the “Dr. Seuss” parody) come from? There’s no signature or copyright line, and none of the tags seem to match it either.

Looks like I’m going to have a new comic to add to my ‘dog comics’ –
