So it’s just a regular park… except… with anthropomorphic dogs?
Or is there a missing caption?

Ragged clothes, full moon: they’re probably werewolves. Only place left them for a party, I guess, after being thrown out of every regular (human) place.
Nice extrapolation, Olivier. But I think it is simply what Bill posited dubiously. And I would call it successfully funny.
Honestly, it looks like there’s a missing caption.
I suppose he could be saying, “In a dog park, nobody knows you’re a werewolf.”
I had the same reaction (missing caption?) when I first read it, but then I came to the same conclusion as Olivier. Werewolves at their monthly gathering. I laughed once I got it.
I don’t know, but that’s a great looking moon in a grayscale comic.
The dog with the latte looks like he’s saying something.
Also, that’s one heck of a Supermoon there in the background.
I don’t know why I’m so surprised. I always found Andertoons underwhelming but surely a cartoon needs more than werewolves in a dog park.
His blog title for the day was “The first rule of dog park– is no-one talks about dog park”. That would have been funny.
Andertoons always renders the caption as part of the graphic image, so it is highly unlikely that a caption could be “lost” (unless the artist goofed when he uploaded it).
P.S. Olivier already posted the original source, but for comparison I would like to offer the “other” comic I discovered when I searched that site for “dog park“:
The pic Kilby posted was actually funny.
And today (Wed) in Pooch Cafe:
Moon covered by clouds?? I thought the transformation occurred when daybreak came.
I guess it depends on the mechanism.
@ Andréa – The traditional sources are less uniform, but a visible (full) moon became the “standard” transformation trigger through influence from Hollywood movies. Even Aardmann used this concept in “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” when [spoiler alert] Wallace was transformed into the “beast”.
Sometimes, the transformation is triggered by any blue light, and prevented (or reversed) with red light.
The poor werewolf/wereperson on a cloudy night, then. Which makes no sense to me, as it is quite a complicated and painful transformation from to the other, unlike in this comic, where it’s a ‘poof! I’m changed’ moment, including clothes.
Sir Terry’s werewolf (y’all didn’t think I wouldn’t figure out a way to bring in his characters, did you??) – Delphine Angua von Überwald – and other werewolves on DiscWorld can be read about here – https://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Angua_von_%C3%9Cberwald
OK, I’m not up on popular culture, but is Wolfman the same as a Werewolf?
And from WereDog to WereWolf . . .
(I noticed last night there was a sickle moon, not a full moon . . . isn’t there SUPPOSED to be a full moon on Halloween?? What happened to tradition?!)
Meanwhile, back at the Dog Park . . .
@ Andréa – That “tradition” would have had to be based on a lunar calendar, akin to the “harvest moon” festivals known in some cultures. Our solar calendar doesn’t make provisions for consistent phases.
I was being [somewhat] facetious because any time you [I] see pictures of werecreatures, or even just Halloween, the moon is . . . full.

The description runs thus: “(Werewolves hanging out in dog park during full moon.)”
It would appear there is no caption, despite the convention of one foreground character appearing to be talking to another.
