It may take a few minuets to load.

"For the first time in almost half a century, a new Bash Street Kid will be introduced into the hallowed pages of The Beano."

Have they forgotten about Cuthbert Cringeworthy then?

Lew

Ah, but Lew, poor Cuthbert's never really been accepted into the fold, has he?

"wayne makes his debut in the playground of bash st school on 5th may and will appear from time to time - when he's not recovering from serious injury! "

Shouldn't that be " when we decide to do a new story instead of chucking in a reprint".

When I was a child I never did understand this: if Cuthbert is the class swot then why is he hardly ever in class?

It's several years since we last had a reprinted Dave Sutherland Kids story...

I hate to be the one to have to break this to you, Paul, but....

No, no, I can't do it. I'm sorry....just pretend I'm not here.

I never understood it either.

here the Bash Street kids names.......

There looks like there is two plugs!
Toots had a friend in Ella..
Erbert was Herbert
Teddy boy..Leo also drew a Teddy Bear in the Three bears.he orignally in the first sketch had hair like that...

It's the same Percival Proudfoot Plugsley, before he had his plastic surgery to become the beautiful goon we all know and love.

when did David Sutherland last draw The Bash Street Kids? I thought he was still doing new stories up until very recently.

He still is drawing it.3/2 pages of it everyweek plus Beanomax...

And no intention of retiring, as I understand!

never seen Big Fella before .........just bought for the first time a 1956 Beano....loving buying old comics at the moment..

I liked those two BSK strips.

I thought the robot was teacher in disguise though!
I thought Winston would be the dog in disguise, but he probably wasn't around in those days (or was he?).
