Like Brian Basset's other comic, Adam @ Home, Red and Rover is a very workmanlike comic strip. It basically does what it sets out to do and nothing more. It's not at all ambitious or original, and it's hardly ever especially funny, but it more often than not makes me wish I were a kid again. It's kind of like what The Family Circus would be if The Family Circus didn't suck so much.

Not to mention the fact that the author borrows so freely from "Calvin and Hobbes" that Bill Watterson, if he cared to, could easily win a plagarism suit.
