Amos: Amos and Andy are well known radio comedians of days long gone by. They still, however, appear as comic strip characters in some newspapers on a daily basis.

Blondie: This famous comic strip female funny lady has been loved for many decades and this love continues today and will for decades to come. This choice is great for a light coated lady of any breed.
