The Marmaduke comic was created by Brad Anderson who illustrated the comic strip himself until his death in 2015, at the age of 91. The comic strip centered around the dog and his family, the Winslows. Marmaduke the Great Dane has been the star of his own comic strip since June of 1954.Įven though he’s one of the largest dog breeds out there, it was Marmaduke’s larger-than-life personality that warmed people’s hearts. But regardless, deep down, Garfield loves his dog brother no matter what. In the comics, he’s constantly by Garfield’s side and, to the orange cat’s dismay, always an annoyance. Odie is depicted as a Dachshund/Terrier mix. Though Garfield the cat is the main star of his own comic strip, Odie, his dog brother, often steals the show.Ĭreated by Jim Davis and first appearing in the comic strip on August 8 th, 1978, Odie stole everyone’s heart with his yellow fur, brown ears, and long tongue that almost constantly hangs out of his mouth.
#BEAGLE OF THE FUNNY PAGES TV#
Today, Snoopy has become internationally known and has been ranked as the eighth greatest cartoon character of all time by TV Guide.
He spent most of his time lovingly poking fun at his beloved buddy, Charlie Brown, and hanging out with a yellow bird named Woodstock. Snoopy was a Beagle who was loyal, imaginative, and good natured. But Charlie’s best friend, and maybe one of the most recognizable comic strip characters ever, was his dog, Snoopy.
