Red: Rover, if you could meet a famous dog in history, like Lassie, run tin tin or bandit from "Jonny Quest," who would it be? Rover: Easy. Laika, the dog the russkies put into space. Red: Um... That might be a hair difficult. Y'see, Rover... Um... Laika's no longer on this planet. Rover: Well, duh!

Better they had put a few Russkies in space, rather than Laika.

As if Lassie, Rin Tin Tin or Bandit are on earth, either.

Laika died in space. The Russians eventually built a statue in her memory.

Laika was EXECUTED in space.
Typical Soviet “efficiency”!

How in the world would Red know about Bandit?
The Life I Draw Upon over 11 years ago
A beautiful sweet dog who died by no fault of her own to show ther other person what they could do. A commentary on the Cold War.

WytZox1 : They did. In the case of women, ten years and four days before the sexist Americans would let Sally ride.

Red, if you ask about dogs “in history,” you imply that dead dogs are fair game.

Hey, all you ‘Russki’ haters, this is the 21st century. Come join us.

Considering this strip is set back when these dogs were alive folks, Laika is a fair choice for Rover to make, as he would not have watched the broadcasts.
