as i watched some old school cartoons...

how is it that back in the day... when dogs barked in cartoons... they would say "bow wow"? i've never heard a dog bark that sounds anything remotely similar to "bow wow". i think "woof" and "arf" are somewhat reminiscent of a real dog barking tho.

Bow wow is what the gay dogs say (no wonder there's a kid out there that calls himself that).

maybe the word (I found the correct spelling) onomatopoeia didnt exist back then?
