Eliot Shag

Eliot Shag is the star of Dog City, the animated/puppetry spin-off of the eponymous special. A bespectacled animator, Eliot wrote, drew, and animated the adventures of detective Ace Hart, striving to turn out each week's episode amidst distractions from friends, neighbors, and interlopers, which provided inspiration for his cartoons. A German shepherd in breed. Eliot lives alone in his apartment; neighbor Artie was Eliot's biggest admirer, and Eliot strikes up a relationship with Artie's mother, Terri Springer, after his first girlfriend Colleen leaves. Eliot typically interacted and argued with Ace, in a manner akin to Chuck Jones' short Duck Amuck. In the episode "In Your Dreams," Eliot falls asleep at the drawing board and re-appears in cartoon form.
