Rover (comic strip)

Rover is a Sunday Filipino comic strip written and illustrated by the De Los Santos Brothers. It ran from November 21, 1976, to August 7, 1988, with nine chapters and 502 strips overall.

Rover focuses in the life of the titular main character, Rover, a senior-high turned college student musician and his journey to becoming a popular musician, with the aid of his fellow colleagues and multi-instrumentalists, Max and Lavender.

It gained a lot of attention after the release of an animated television series of the same name, in 1979, which covered the first three chapters of the series. In 1991, MegaManila Television released a prequel named Separated Best Friends, which was more dramatic than its predecessor. However, it was widely acclaimed by viewers and critics alike. Its final television series to cover the last three chapters is Rover and Max, which was released in 2017.
