'''Mother Goose and Grimm''' is a comic strip begun in 1984 by Mike Peters. The strip centralizes on its title characters: an anthropomorphic goose named MotherGoose, and her dog, Grimm. Except when it chooses to be a one-shot, gag-a-day strip in the vein of ''TheFarSide''. Other main characters include Atilla the Cat and Ralph the Boston Terrier, who was added recently instead of being present at the beggining of the series.
