very unusual stuff, PETER; even by KEN'S ghoulish standards! I've already collected every single one of these onto disc....the 'pencil' one is the most untypical-ever REID entry in this field, I reckon.......he is still one of the all-time UK greats, however off-putting some of these images are.

Welcome to the weird world of Ken Reid...he was in another world..very strange stuff..

you made me smile about talking about India..its amazing to be able to talk to you from such a far away country...glad the British humour can travel..

Hi Peter, 
I've always enjoyed your blog, so I'm glad I can contribute in a small way. 
Aside from the Weirdies, there's a couple of other surprises you may appreciate. 

Here's a few Weirdies for you now though. 

From the January 18th through to February 8th 1974 issues, Whoopee come out in the smaller size with the better quality paper, hence the colours are much brighter. 

Some of your 1975 dates appear to be mixed up too.
19th April was the Gruesome Gondola, whilst 19 May was The Sahara Dessert. 

There was no Weirdies in the Whoopee issue dated 29th March 1975

Also, the "Scary Skyscraper" Weirdie you have on your 1974 page isn't from 1974 although I couldn't tell you the correct date.   

cheers, 
John

Brian Walker did a poster in place of World-wide Weirdies this week..

Robert Nixon shows he is also great at comic horror!!

Ken is great at this...loads of gruesome faces!!!

Thanks John...oh well the pictures are the main thing rather than dates...I've put yours up in the correct year...
Sorry the order isn't correct...
