Whoopee!! comics Dick Doobie back to front man by Steve Bell

With the help of a computer we can now read it without a mirror...
Its such a tricky thing to read..and quite a bizarre strip idea!!
Whoopee!! 27th May 1978
The character didn't last very long...it sure gave readers a challenge.

Fantastic stuff, thanks for posting that one! I only heard of Dick Doobie's existence a few days ago (Steve Bell being a favourite of mine). Certainly an interesting setup.

There was an American comic in the early 20th Century called "The Upside Downs of Little Lady Lovekins and Old Man Muffaroo" - look it up, I think you'll like it. Very clever stuff.
