=**Circular Reasoning "Begging the Question"**=

Begging the question (circular reasoning) is a logical fallacy in which a statement or claim is assumed to be true without evidence other than the statement or claim itself.

Example: X is true because of Y. Y is true because of X

This cartoon is begging the question because he answers with his claim with no other evidence. The boy answered the dog’s question with the same thing he stated about dense planets before.
