| | Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Top Dog |
 | | Comic books used to be, and to an extent still are, considered kid stuff by the general public. |
 | | Top Dog #1, dated April, 1985, was part of Star Comics' initial set of releases, alongside first issues of Royal Roy, Wally the Wizard, Planet Terry and a few adaptations of licensed properties such as Strawberry Shortcake and The Get Along Gang. |
 | | Top Dog (no relation) was heir to a long-running comics tradition, starting with Buster Brown's Tige and continuing with Barnaby's Gorgon, Calvin's Hobbes and many others pets that talk, but only to certain people. |
