Exclusive Preview: THE RUFF & REDDY SHOW #4 – A Social Commentary On Hollywood

DC Comics released an exclusive preview of THE RUFF & REDDY SHOW #4 to Monkeys Fighting Robots Thursday morning. The series is written by Howard Chaykin with art by Mac Rey, with a variant cover by Chaykin as well.

The Show was an American animated television series made by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The show followed the adventures of Ruff, a smart and steadfast cat, and Reddy, a good-natured and brave dog. DC Comics has since reenvisioned the series with a modern spin.

Chaykin uses this series to comment on the social issues of Hollywood, ageism, sexism, and the advertising world. To put it mildly, this is not a Saturday morning cartoon anymore. DC Comics has been bold with the Hanna-Barbera properties, which has created a passionate following among fans.
