The public always get their characters and comics mixed up. Remember they threw them out years ago. Memories of trivial things get muddled, and as the comics were never that important to them they haven't retained the sort of memories about them that we have.Digifiend wrote:How the heck do they make such a mistake? No Whizzer and Chips characters had their own annuals at all. And I can't imagine which strip they got confused with there. Perhaps they were thinking of the Dandy Book, but in that case the caller shouldn't have got the comic wrong.
As for the annual, he probably has some vague memory of a full page Jocks & Geordies splash from a Dandy Book and thinks it was an annual cover.
