 Paws was a cheeky cartoon hound who would get involved
    in various "crazy" antics with other pets and humans. He
    was always scheming some way of getting one up on a
    neighbour, owner, vet, or another dog. But things usually
    ended up going awry along the way...

    To be honest, there was nothing particularly "crazy" about
    this pooch, but he proved popular with comic-buyers. He was
    present through-out Krazy's run, and for some time after the
    erger with Whizzer & Chips. He also made a nifty duel
    appearance in both titles' annuals for a while. Later still,
    the best Paws strips were reprinted in the pages
    of Big Comic...

    Now this fine Paws poster featured on the back of  the
    first issue of Big Comic (11th June 1988). The thumbnail
    leads to a bigger scan. Big Comic was published fortnightly
    and featured 52 pages of reprinted Fleetway strips from 
    across the spectrum of titles...


    And here's another little Paws gem I've unearthed in Krazy #3.
    It's a canine cameo drawn by Ian Knox in the Krazy Gang's
    pages. Rotten old Pongo Snodgrass is in disguise outside
    the gang's hut, but where exactly is he hiding?

    Cue our canine pal, who trots in to frame one and departs
    in frame two, after depositing a wake-up call upon our
    foul fumer - Superb!

    Paws pees on Pongo!

    Paws was drawn by "Styx". And afterwards came a
    scraggy feline called Claws and, indeed, a tattered old
    crow called Caws!
