Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Syndicated comic strip Red and Rover appears in over 70 newspapers and growing, and the fact that it has rarely been dropped from any newspaper is a testament to the fierce loyalty of its fans.Why are readers so dedicated to this simple comic about a boy and his dog? That simplicity itself is one of the best-loved characteristics of the strip. Ten-year-old Red and his lab-mix mutt Rover are a metaphor for friendship, and their shared adventures hearken back to a simpler time that holds a strong nostalgic appeal for modern readers.The other feature of Red and Rover that draws fans to the strip is the realness of Rover's character. Rover is not a talking dog; he and Red communicate through thought bubbles. Moreover, Rover's facial expressions and body language are drawn with an authenticity, recognized and lauded by dog lovers, that communicates volumes about what he's thinking and feeling.As proclaimed on the popular family-oriented Web site infodad.com, "Well focused, well thought out, and well drawn in something of a 'retro' style, Red and Rover is the most heartwarmingly funny new comic strip in years. Cynics, go elsewhere. Red and Rover is for the rest of us."

About the Author
A former editorial cartoonist for the Seattle Times, Red and Rover creator Brian Basset is also the cartoonist behind the strip Adam@Home, which is syndicated to more than 200 newspapers. Brian grew up in McLean, Va., and is an alum of Ohio State University. He draws from his home studio in Issaquah, Wash., where he lives with his wife, two teenage sons, and of course, several pets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Waggin' Tales: A Red and Rover Collection, August 2, 2005
Another delightful book by Mr. Basset. I just love his work. I read Red and Rover everyday in the newspaper. To have a whole book with this wonderful companionship of human and animal is sheer pleasure. It lifts the heart and gives one a really good feeling. Thank you Mr. Basset.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Childhood in Comic Strip Form, April 22, 2004
By Mark Ebert (Lancaster OH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Do you remember a time when your favorite member of the family had four legs? Can you recall when a visit to the ice cream truck was an event and everyone was going to grow up to be an astronaut? Can you recollect the simple pleasures of summer break and holidays?

Waggin' Tales, the second in the Red and Rover series, will bring these things back to you vividly and set your mind on a more pleasant bend.

As the backcover reads, "cynics stay away..."

5.0 out of 5 stars waiting for a new printing , February 25, 2009
I ordered this book off the Yahoo! comics page, but we (and possibly Amazon too) have been tricked because the book is apparently out of print and only available indirectly. The comic is good enough that the publisher ought to take pity on us - there may still be a demand.
