Alec the Great was a syndicated newspaper gag panel created by Edwina Dumm and featuring a dog character (as did her other comic strip, Cap Stubbs and Tippie).

[2] In Alec the Great, Dumm illustrated verses written by her brother, Robert Dennis Dumm, about the small dog, Alec.

Their collaboration was published as a book, Alec the Great: 1,001 Verses - Wise, Witty and Cheerful (Crown, 1946).

Comics historian Maurice Horn notes that Alec looked exactly like Tippie.

[3] Another dog book by Edwina Dumm was Sinbad: A Dog's Life, published by Coward McCann in 1930.
