"Alec Rosenberg points a harsh spotlight on the inattentive writing in some of today's programming for children. He highlights the sometimes surreal plot devices used in a callous disregard for cohesive narrative in order to slake the sponsor's thirst to insert the prime money-making character as soon and often as possible; Even at the expense of logic. His message is a damning, "We may be toddlers, but you're not fooling us. Also I like Dora." Alec Rosenberg is a talent to watch and, who knows, he may be enough to save his shut-in father from a life of drawing dick and fart jokes." - The New Yorker

This is somehow the funniest thing I've seen in ages.

Auros, they're welcome to come knocking. There's not much they can do beyond issuing a C&D. No biggie.

Hmm. I guess Alec hasn't learned about copyright and trademark law yet.
Note that I don't intend this as criticism -- I think copyright and trademark law kind of suck. But I worry about you getting sued someday. There are protections for parody, but that last panel kinda just looks like using the character without any kind of change, derivation, or re-contextualization. If you make income from page-views of the comic, or want to include it in a book that will be sold, I think you'd be at risk for having the owners of the Dora character come knocking.
