A new ranking highlights top animal sidekicks from comics across genres.
The list places Snoopy from Peanuts at the top for his recognizable personality and fantasy retreats, as described by creator Charles M. Schulz. Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes follows for his role in mischievous adventures with Calvin. Other entries include Lying Cat from Saga, who detects lies, and Devil Dinosaur from Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur as a loyal red Tyrannosaurus Rex companion. The ranking covers daily strips, fantasy and sci-fi, and superhero titles, noting ongoing series like Phoebe and Her Unicorn. It draws from Marvel titles with some bias acknowledged and calls the selection incomplete.
