If I can analyse my analysis, I'd call it Jungian; Jung is the one always talking about "the collective unconscious." Its a kind of psychoanalysis, but unlike more Freudian psychoanalysis, it is much more flattering to the artist, and doesn't devolve into what is basically a game of "spot the penis."
As for the rules of funny animal, the problem with definitions is that they also bring about personal biases. I honestly can't defend the exclusion artistically right now (though perhaps historically), but I can't think of a good defense of the inclusion, either.

By the way, nice job editing.
