Bleeker: The Rechargeable Dog is a comic strip by Jonathan Mahood about ten-year-old Skip Smalls, his friend Lila, and Bleeker, his electronic dog. The strip is distributed by King Features Syndicate.
In July 2006, Mahood's comic strip began online as Hoover: The Rechargeable Dog. The strip was picked up by GoComics in 2007, and Mahood titled it Bleeker in honor of his grandfather's middle name.[1]
Originally syndicated by Andrews McMeel Universal's GoComics for four years, it moved to King Features on January 3, 2011. It is also available on King Features' DailyINK service.[2] It has been translated weekly for Germany's national weekly newspaper Die Zeit.
When the strip switched syndicates, it was relaunched, as detailed by Mahood:
