75 years of The Dandy The Jocks and the Geordies


The Dandy 2nd August 1980

A strong strip which is unforgettable once seen. Though the Geordies sure wear tight socks and little caps!!

Jimmy Hughes the artist also drew Bully Beef and Chips another memorable strip.

I loved the Jocks And The Geordies, had loads of dandy/beano comics as a kid but were put out in the shed and got ruined by damp. Does anyone remember The Jocks And Geordies having some female characters come in before the strip came to an end, can't find any info but I definitely remember the changes. Must have been early 90s
