TONY: There’s a time when I wouldn’t have dared to draw something like this.
TATI: Uh huh. You usually only dare to draw dildos and boobs.
TONY: Yes, now I can add shit to the list.
TATI: Wow. Now you can be considered a mature artist.
TONY: What does that even mean anyway? How mature is it to draw a dick and balls instead of covering them up with a pair of underpants? No, I just drew these things because I wanted to. Nothing more, nothing less.
TATI: Definitely, the name of Tony Single shall now be featured alongside those of Odd Nerdrum, Pieter Bruegel…
TONY: Who?
TATI: Artists. Who drew shit.
TONY: Oh, what they drew was shit? Or they literally drew with shit? And it was shit? Or brilliant.
TATI: They drew shit. Literally.
TONY: Oh, shit. Really?
TATI: Shrilly.
TONY: Well, aren’t you just in a silly mood today!
TATI: And you’re in a shitty mood.
TONY: Well, I’m trying to have a serious conversation about god being a palindrome of dog—god being a dog’s leavings, if you will. Perhaps god’s not the great almighty being we make him out to be. Perhaps we ought to hold dogs in higher esteem.
TATI: What a weird concept. Was it a car or a cat I saw?
TONY: Huh?!
TATI: Perhaps cars are not the great almighty beings we make them out to be. Perhaps we ought to hold cats in higher esteem.
TONY: But… but… Cats. Cars. They’re not palindromes! You’re completely ruining my whole point!
TATI: But… but… Your ‘shit’ doesn’t spell ‘Tony’ backwards!
TONY: Are you calling me shit?
TATI: No way! I’m honestly trying to follow your shitty logic.
TONY: I’m wondering how many times we can get away with saying the word ‘shit’ in this discussion…
TATI: I suppose we’re going to get beans anyway, but not because of some doo doo balls on your picture, Tony.
TONY: I literally have no idea what you just said.
TATI: I suppose our readers will tell you. I just know I don’t want to get beans.
TONY: What the shit does your ‘get beans’ mean? I’m so confused!
TATI: Wait and see.
TONY: Erm… Okay? How about we just move on from shits and beans and… well, talk about the ‘god’ part of my illustration?
(Tati begins to walk away.)
TONY: Tati? Hey! Wait! TATI?!
(She pays absolutely no attention to him.)
TONY: Well… shit.

I like the image: the one thing I find annoying about dogs (not all dogs do this) when they encounter other digs they always sound like BARK BARKBARK!!!!!!! (I’m mad, this is my territory!) even if they’re just saying “Hi, I’ve never seen you before? I’d like to get to know you better.”
So in that regard, I can see a dog being on such a powertrip that he/she poops God

Wow, no bean comments yet? Here’a a “bean” for you (it relates to horses; and it’s not horseshit):
Smegma can accumulate in the depression at the end of the penis, called the urethral fossa. Commonly known as the “bean,” this smegma plug can vary from about the size of a small eraser to a lima bean.

The first word I found was semordnilap. The Oxford dictionary says this: “There’s no generally accepted term. The simplest way of referring to such words (e.g. lap/pal, dog/god) is probably semi-palindrome or half-palindrome. Some other suggestions have been made, including heteropalindrome, reversgram (or reversible anagram), and semordnilap (i.e. palindromes written backwards).”

Any of those terms would be usable, I suppose. It would be hard to pick just one though. I like the sound of ’em all! 😛

not to spoil the party, but you may be looking for another term for “god/dog”
Palindromes are words or phrases that read the same backwards and forwards Hannah, madam, racecar, nurses run.
The only palindrome I can think of in this case is “god’sdog”

Yes! Dog and God, not palindromes but I’ve always found the similarity between the two words funny and Tony and Tatiana nailed it!

Waaa haaa haaaa! I have no idea why poop is so entertaining. Maybe it was the beans part, IDK. I see the connection between dildos and boobs then dogs and poop. It seems if you find boobs, you may also find a dildo and if you have a dog, you’ll have poop-art. So, in conclusion, Tony, it seems you understand the order of the universe in an intrinsic way. That’s really something to be proud of. I don’t think S. Dali ever got it like you do do do da-doo! 😁. And Tati! Whoa bro. Don’t snooze around that lady. She’s quick. You’ll lose your lunch money every time.
