Rude Dog

Rude Dog is a white cartoon dog originally created by artist Brad McMahon while under contract to Sun Sportswear in the 1980s as part of a line of Surfing and skateboarding-related clothing. The character was a stylized version of a Bull Terrier, and the name "Rude" had the dual purpose of glorifying uncalled-for deportment and referring to the Rude boy subculture of Ska that was popular at the time.
To further market the character, Sun Sportswear also developed a Saturday morning cartoon entitled "Rude Dog and the Dweebs". Rude Dog and the Dweebs was as colorful as the clothing it advertised. The punkish pooch himself drives a 1959 pink Cadillac across a backdrop of Beverly Hills imagined in hues of pastel and neon. In the TV series, Rude Dog is voiced by Rob Paulsen in a Brooklyn accent. He the leader of the Dweebs. Rude in the context used in the show meant radical, cool and totally awesome and he looked and acted it.
