Pup Parade is a British comic strip that features in the comic magazine The Beano. It is a spin-off to The Bash Street Kids, following the lives of their dogs, and appeared in several issues for over two decades. The comic strip has been rebooted frequently, from the comic magazine it debuted in, to other comic magazines created and owned by DC Thomson.




Synopsis

Characters


The pups were:

Bones – Danny Morgan's dog. The leader.
Blotty – Spotty's dog. The one with many spots. This dog was originally called "Spotty", before its change in the mid-1970s. In the late 1980s he reverted to his original name, and his final name originated in 2003.
'Enry – 'Erbert's dog. The shortsighted one.
Manfrid – Wilfred's dog. The one with a collar up to his chin.
Peeps – Toots' dog. The girl (who wears a bow.)
Pug – Plug's dog. The ugly one.
Sniffy – Smiffy's dog. The stupid one. Got the most stories along with Bones.
Tubby – Fatty's dog. The fat one.
Wiggy – Sidney's dog. The one with strong hair.
Their sworn enemies are dubbed the Blob Street Dogs:

Fusso – Bones' rival. The leader and the fussy one.
Spots – Blotty's rival, and his cousin.
Lash – Peeps' rival. The girl.
Thiky – Sniffy's rival. The stupid one.
Piggy – Tubby's rival. The fat one.
Baldy – Wiggy's rival. The bald one.
Soffo – The soft one.
Proudon – The big-headed one.
Markus – Proudon's brother. Like his sibling, very big-headed.
Cuthbert Cringeworthy has a King Charles Spaniel called Cringley, but he rarely features in the strip.
Other sparring partners were the Bash Street Cats, who appeared in a summer special and in the Beano Book 1972. The Bash Street Kids also owned fish in the same issue.
Continuing the kids' anthropomorphosis into nature, the Bash Street Birds completed the set. They appeared in at least one annual and made fleeting appearances elsewhere.
