Presumably his mother washed them, as my mother did in our family home. He may well have had a different pair of pants for each day of the week but the reason you never see Jimmy in any of his other pants is that he wasn't able to make any trips into historical scenes in them, and such mundane activities as he did get involved in would not have made good copy.

I never thought of that!

The Beano was out once a week, so he'd only have to wear them once a week!

You think he walked around trouserless six days a week and only covered up when he knew the readers were going to be looking? It's possible, I guess. Jimmy the Beanotown flasher...

No, lol, I meant he'd wear non-time travelling pants on the other six days. Your imagination...

Adverts for Sandie, No1 and No3. Nice colour one for No3.
