Red is a 10-year-old boy whose best friend is his dog, Rover. The two can understand what each other is saying or thinking.
The strip mainly deals with life as it affects these two.

Occasionally seen in the strip is Red's family (his older brother Martin and their parents Carol and Charlie) and Red's friends and neighbors.
Set in the late 60s/early 70s, Red and Rover is a fun, retro, family strip about a simpler time in life.

ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me how they can manage to get so much "content" into a couple of small drawings. There is a lesson there for most of us I suspect.
