Comics UK

I'm puzzled that they are inviting people during a lockdown.

Dc Thomson should publish list of characters' real names. I'd like to know Ginger's real name as well as Pop, Dick and Harry's.

Creepy or Eerie had a UK version for a short while. But they wouldn't be sci-fi.

I did consider that when I made my post. I don't remember the characters having real names until well into this century.

Paul did point out she was born before the first Harry Potter book.

The editor of the Beano was on Paul Ross's talk radio show between 4.30 and 4.50 this morning. Talking about Dennis's 70th anniversary. Paul Ross admitted to naming his daughter Hermione after Minnie the Minx.

There was a two page article about Dennis's upcoming 70th anniversary.

Kempton Park confirms their antique fair is back on 13th April.

This coming Saturday's Daily Mail Weekend magazine has an interesting cover. Who's the artist?

Perhaps it's a Kelpie strip from an annual as the regular artists often didn't draw the annual versions of strips.

Looks like Kelpie the boy wizard from Wham!

One of my guilty pleasures is watching Wheel of Fortune on Challenge TV. This morning the bloke who presents the prizes was sitting in an armchair reading the Beano. A 1988 episode.

Watching a Budgie episode on Talking Pictures TV a couple of weeks ago and Adam Faith was reading the Hornet or Hotspur.

What about the William Tell Overture?

I enjoyed last night's final Hazell. Not only was it filmed here in Rotherhithe but Hazell bought his mate, hiding out from the police, some jellied eels and double pie and mash. Hazell hired a car and I recognised the car mart as the one just a few yards up the road from me.
