Hi and Lois
It does seem highly derivative of Georges Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte only except for people boating and rowing, it's a guy fishing. Dot is right in her air of smugness.

The car on the right was set ablaze during the #RaccoonLivesMatter protests sweeping through the forest. The dog is having an existential crisis of what his purpose is--sure, he puts out fires but there are always just more of them. The water drains to the lake instead of the river. The car is a Buick, not a Honda. The crocodile is married.

Oh, or the wheel, ear, smoke, fangs, tail, and door handle. Whatever.
