Now, through a series of events "Mad Dog" has been revived when the American-Canadian Trans-Continental Communications Company buys the rights to the series.

Bob initially turns down Harlan's offer to revive the series with the publisher, but after his wife, Kaye reminded Bob that Mad-Dog would never give up dreams in the face of defeat, he decides to compromise with Harlan on creative direction, and the two became a team.
