*KAZOOP !!: A LOOK AT SHIVER & SHAKE STRIPS: CREEPY CAR: Advertisement in SHIVER AND SHAKE No. 70 Creepy Car was a motor ghost and the spirit of an old car that was sent to the scrapyar...

Great to see the origin of this brilliant strip by Reg Parlett go to link to see for yourself...I never knew it started in Shiver and Shake!

Happy 75th Birthday The Beano 30th July 1938!

What a great line up of characters...The Beano has worked because of the strong characters and the unchanging quality of it..
The Beano editor thought in the 75th Birthday special £6.99 in WHSmiths or at the DC Thomson shop

He would of liked to have shown this issue in the book But he decided to show the first appearances of characters...so I'd thought it would be fun to show it here...

Another nice thing about The Beano is the artist stayed with the character for years and years and years...it really is impressive...

So well done The Beano and hope you never change..and that is to make us laugh..

The Dragon Family a new cartoon series by me..

Its a bit different for me mixing acrylics and a big thick black pen...But the result is quicker to read jokes and really stands out...whether I can think up any more ideas..who knows..But here is 7 good gags by me..

You can buy them as cards and prints at my new website shop..

The Topper comics -Beryl the Peril does The Avengers!

1966 Topper

Nice seeing this...

1961 Topper ghosted by Bill Ritchie! Its always fun seeing how well an artist can do different styles...this is a good Davy Law style...notice the horizon lines and different perspectives...Bill must of seen that in his work.

Beryl's Chatterbox Topper comic 1973-4

 I wonder if these are caricutures of the editor and writers? As a good guess they must be..also love this time in Topper comic where it laughs at itself as seen above saying the Splodge story will be the usual rubbish!! Love this type of silly fun humour.

Inspired by Kazoop's post on The Shiver Givers from Shiver and Shake comic

The Sparky People was also another strip which had the characters from the comic making the actual comic!  

It is a great fun idea.

The Dandy did Office Hours which didn't quite work for me...as it didn't have any of the Dandy characters in it.

Though it only ran for about four and a half years Harold Hare's Own Paper featured some memorable strips, including Harold himself, Flopsy, Wendy and her Toby Jug, Mr. Toad, Katie Country Mouse, Gulliver Guinea-Pig, Dagwood Duck, Pinky & Perky, Torchy the Battery Boy. Pinocchio, the little horses, Snuggles and the Wonderful Island of Yum. However, my personal favourite had to be the shape-changing alien Moony from the Moon - originally drawn by the Italian Antonio Lupatelli (aka 'Tony Wolf'), and then by Manchester's own John Donnelly. Unfortunately I don't have any original artwork from the actual strips but here's a nice, one-off drawing of the character by Donnelly: ...It's a matter of enduring regret to me that I didn't pump John for details of his career in British comics when I went to art college with his son during the 1970s! Sadly, I only really cared about American superhero comics at the time!  - Phil Rushton

Frankie Stein by Frank Mc Diarmid, probably the last one ever

Whoopee Holiday Special 1988.

As you can see it has some of Ken Reid's madness in it...a bit darker than Robert Nixon's version of the strip..especially when the prof goes mad with the gun on the ship!!

Harold Hare's Own Paper highlights inside-

A nice big comic for younger children...Harold Hare is a great character...love the mouse mowing his hair!!

Hugh signs his work in this comic and he does do quite a few pages..

This shows how well it was doing...

I love the nonsense of this strip...Hugh McNeill is great at drawing mad characters!! Also she is very cute..

Peter Woolcock drew this..

Philip Mendoza

This is such a delightful strip..it is so sweet...
