It was surprising for me at the time to see Mike Noble drawing Follyfoot, as I was used to him drawing sci-fi action with TV21! He must have liked drawing horsey stories as he then followed Follyfoot with Black Beauty.

I'm sure he drew a cowboy series in TV Comic in the early sixties. Lots of gee gees in that.

Apparently he also drew a Lone Ranger strip, possibly for TV Express?

Wish they hadn't cancelled it on that damned cliffhanger!

Catweazle ran for two seasons on TV; 1970-71. A Catweazle strip ran in Look-in in 1972 but I don’t know when it started.

ISTR that Catweazle ran as a strip in Look-in from the first issue in 1971, though if it was in TV Comic in 1971 as well, maybe my memory is tricking me.

Catwesle I don't think was in the first issues of Look-in's I have issue No.9 and it's not in there. Must have been in TV Comic.

Catweazle was in TV Comic and Look-In. The main artist I remember was Gerry Embleton, though it seems the character was also drawn by John Stokes and Bill Lacey among others.
