They ought to do adverts like this again to encourage recycling. There's recyling ads in the back of Commando but they are decidedly clinical

Hi Peter, the '3 New Pals' headline was a bit of a misnomer as two of the 'new pals' were actually returnees, namely Good King Coke drawn by Eric Roberts and Artful Grannie Green a text story reprinted from the Beano's very early issues where it had been titled The Wangles of Granny Green. The only out and out new pal of the three was Smart Alec drawn by Basil Blackaller.

Most of these ads were the work of Jimmy 'Korky the Cat' Crighton
