Plutos

Sergio Bonelli Editore’s Plutos ran for 32 issues from 1949 to 1950, a brief but lively Italian comic series centered on a mischievous, anthropomorphic dog. The strip was a product of the postwar era’s fondness for funny-animal humor, with the titular character getting into slapstick adventures. Though short-lived, it stands as an early example of the publisher’s commitment to character-driven, all-ages entertainment.
