The strip's protagonists are Puss, a black anthropomorphic cat and Boots, a similarly humanoid brown dog.
It was one of a few DC Thomson cartoons where dialogue was as important as the artwork, with Puss and Boots insulting each other elaborately.
The strip ran in The Dandy for two spells in the early 2000s, drawn by Barrie Appleby, who also drew Cuddles and Dimples, before being dropped when the comic was revamped in October 2004.
Puss 'n' Boots appear in the Dandy Annual 2009, drawn by Nigel Parkinson.
Similarly themed strips appeared in The Dandy in the 1980s, called Mutt and Moggy which was also drawn by John Geering, and in The Beano in the 2010s under the name Meebo and Zuky.
