Kelly & Duke


Kelly & Duke was a daily and Sunday comic strip drawn and written by Jack Moore and syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate. It began in 1972, then known as Kelly, but changed to Kelly & Duke title in 1974. It ended in 1980.

The strip centers around a boy named Kelly, whose pet and best friend is Duke, an anthropomorphic dog with a Southern accent. The strip's cast was made up with Roscoe, a beatnik cat.

While the strip was not as popular as Universal's earlier comic Doonesbury, it had enough fanbase to place the comic in a "cult" status.

There were no book collections of Kelly and Duke, although a children's book based on the strip, What is God's Area Code?, was published in 1974 as part of the Cartoon Stories for the New Children.
