Pup Parade

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.

The Bash Street Kids' anthropomorphic dogs live in an alleyway and have many misadventures. They look for food, play games with each other and their owners, and meet other animals.

Pup Parade made its first appearance in issue 1326, illustrated by Gordon Bell. The original run finished in issue 2401. The strip returned with a new series from issue 3162 to 3204.

From June 2011, reprints appeared in The Beano, subsequently replaced by new stories, illustrated by Nigel Parkinson. Short strips featured in Funsize Funnies, but Lew Stringer became the new author and illustrator after 2014.

As of September 2021, the comic strip's last appearance in The Beano was issue 4030, but Pup Parade has appeared in other part of the Beano franchise.

The Pup Parade also made a return in the Bash Street Kids Annual 2008. They appeared again in a talent contest in the 2012 Beano Annual, which Sniffy won. This strip was titled as The Bash Street Dogs and was drawn by Nigel Parkinson.

They then moved to The Topper in January 1989, still drawn by Bell which they stayed for the rest of the comic's life, surviving the merge with The Beezer and stayed on with the newly renamed comic Beezer and Topper until 1992.
