Seth MacFarlane created one of TV's most famous families- the Griffins fromFamily Guy. Sure, he also createdAmerican Dadand theFamily Guyspin-off,The Cleveland Show, but they didn't meet the success of his first masterpiece.

American DadandThe Cleveland Showaren't bad shows, for they have their moments.American Dadhas the alien Roger Smith speaking in an exaggerated version of Paul Lynde's voice. He can transform himself into any persona he wishes, creating many over the animated sitcom's 20-year run.The Cleveland Showshares Cleveland Brown's perspectives while living with his blended family in Virginia. Both shows have their unique and quirky characters entangled in humorous storylines.

The Cleveland Showwas canceled after four seasons due to low ratings, and Cleveland relocated back to Quahog. However, it can be streamed on Hulu in its entirety.American Dadis currently airing its 19th season on TBS.

Now, MacFarlane is using his art and comedic skills for a good cause. In the midst of the deadly Los Angeles Fires, theFGcreator posted his drawing of Brian Griffin dressed as a fireman across social media on January 8th.The yellow labrador,who has been with the animated sitcom since its inception in 1999, gave the Los Angeles Fire Department a thumbs-up for their dedication.

The hat is the top of the cake for me, because there's something just so "precious"about a dog wearing hats.

Anyway, I've always been a fan of MacFarlane'sartwork and crass style, so the Brian drawing is my cup of tea. Plus, the message behind it is pretty sweet. You can't get better than spinning your talent with positivity.

Next to the drawing of the beloved pooch is the handwritten message by MacFarlane himself. It's just simple, but effective, as it grasps our attention.

"Thank you to our amazing Los Angeles firefighters! Stay safe.'

So far, MacFarlane's post on X (formerly Twitter) has achieved over a quarter of a million likes. On Instagram, the comedian posted Firefighter Brian on her account, where it met with 62,000 likes. If MacFarlane ever decided to auction the piece with it signed for the American Red Cross response to the LA Fires, not only would the lucky fan have a piece of Family Guy history, but they'd also be giving back to the community.

Fox has yet to announceFamily Guyseason 23, which has been pushed back to make way for new shows on the Animation Domination block.

Family Guycan be streamed on Hulu.
