Girl's Crystal had a robot that would follow instructions literally... like her brothers car breaks down and she says "give him a push" so it pushes the brother.
If they ever wanted to bring back Spadger's Isle in a more PC version they could do worse than to have some astronauts stranded on a planet full of robots like that. In fact i might do it myself!

Here's a "Blunder Girl" story you may not have seen Peter.
Re: Humour pages in girl comics..
Toots ran in the Bunty (not the same Toots as in the Bash Street Kids, she was much younger for a start) and Lettuce Leafe was in Girl (the original series) I don't have any pictures of either handy at the moment though (I'm about to go out actually)
Gone for 14 days...
Re: Humour pages in girl comics..
From Judy there was Janie B. Quick and The Teaser Twins which to me looks like David Sutherland's work, but I could be wrong!
Re: Humour pages in girl comics..
The scan is very low res, but I think the Teaser Twins might be Gordon Bell or very early Jim Petrie. A closer look would tell me for sure.
Re: Humour pages in girl comics..
Janie B. Quick looks like the work of George Martin.

Here's a clearer image of the Teaser Twins. Also Naughty Dottie and Polly and Her Pram, both from Judy.

Re: Humour pages in girl comics..
Being a fan of Mike Brown I really liked Brenda's Brownies and Wendy Witch in Sandie. Sadly I can't offer any scans as although I once had a huge pile of Sandies I sold them on ebay. Wish I hadn't now but just don't have the space to start collecting girl's comics.
I just checked and in the artists and writers section there is a post from me that shows these two strips - from a Sandie annual. The post was dated Sun Feb 08, 2009 and is titled Some Mike Brown Pages.

Re: Humour pages in girl comics..
Nice Mike Brown examples, Im sure I have a Brenda's Brownies somewhere?
Peace, what year is your "Poly and her pram" example from? The scan below is from the 1965 annual, where she looks a completely different character to me!
I know annual strips can be different, but this seems extreme?

Re: Humour pages in girl comics..
I think "Mini Ha-Ha" deserves a mention as well.

Matrix, the Polly and her Pram is from issue 610: 18/09/1971.
Interesting how different those two strips are, I wonder if that was just for the annual.
What comic is Mini Ha-Ha from?

Read the bottom.
So it's June then.Ask your newsagent to save "June and Pixie" for you every week!
Re: Humour pages in girl comics..
I think Mini was in Pixie before the merger.

Here is a one-page episode of Mini Ha-Ha from Pixie annual 1975, Phil. There is another later in the book.
