Red and Rover or Red & Rover is an award winning daily syndicated comic strip by Brian Basset that debuted in 2000. It is about a young boy and his dog. It is usually set around the end of the 1960s or the beginning of the 1970s, although a strip from November 20, 2009 depicted a car which bears a striking resemblance to a mid-1970s Ford Country Squire station wagon, and in a Sunday strip from August 28, 2011 Red plays a parody of Jaws, a film from 1975.
