There were several cartoons dedicated to Cave's and to Marmaduke running away from the store with items he had retrieved. He was also involved in the comic strip Grandpa's Boy, which ran from 1955 through 1980. He received the National Cartoonists Society Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for Marmaduke in 1978.

Reviews

[Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Marmaduke’s tears might sometimes be huge, but his gusto for unconventional endeavors and talent for the odd situations are extremely heartfelt as he manages in his doggy tactics with the daily ups and downs of life. Marmaduke, one of the most outrageous mutts, is loose again making you laugh, roar and howl with pure delight. Marmaduke brings, smiles, laughter and happiness to your heart!

There's not really anything bad I can say about it, if I'm being honest.
