Even if we are to accept that Robin is to be seen as a hero, surely the implication is only that Robin isn't one of the two favourites.

Whoopee! and Cheeky letters page, 25 July 1981. Probably before the annual hit the shops.

The Ed's note is a little ironic. He could have added 'or show the reels in the wrong order'. Kudos to the original scanner of the Bookworm pages.

Hanna Barbera might be interested in panel 5 on page 112.

Indeed it is. IPC's legal department probably insisted that Bookworm's version be altered sufficiently to avoid legal action by H-B, and the resultant delay in getting the lettering changed at the last minute before the printing deadline was the reason that the pages got swapped over in error.

Goodnight. :coat:
