Trots & Bonnie was a comic strip that appeared in National Lampoon Magazine between 1972 and 1990. Written by American cartoonist, Shary Flenniken, the story is told from the perspective of a young girl named Bonnie, whose adventures with her talking dog, Trots, offered a humorous look at a child and her dog navigating the craziness of life and growing up. The duos antics remain one of Flenniken's most popular and recognizable works amongst her many works.
