There have been a couple of Red and Rover story arcs inspired by the story of Rip Van Winkle. In the first, Red had the idea of trying to sleep under a tree for twenty years like Rip. He later realised that Rover would not be alive when he woke up so that put him off the idea.
In the later story arc, Red slept under a tree and seems to have dreamed that he woke up as a grown man with Rover as an old dog. It wasn’t actually stated that it was a dream but Red did solve the problem by going back to sleep on the other side of the tree in the hope that he would wake up as a kid again. When he woke up, he and Rover were the same as usual.
As I have mentioned before, Calvin and Hobbes is my favourite comic strip with Andy Capp in second place and Red and Rover and The Wizard of Id in strong competition for third place.
