A few things in Plug

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Just done a blog post about Plug, but there's a few artists I'd like to identify in there, would anyone be able to help? The annoying thing is how FAMILIAR they all look!

Unfortunately, An Alphabet of Fun only refers to Eebagoom as "Plug comic's roman basher". No mention of artists or dates. You mentioned his similarity to Hungry Horace. He was drawn by George Drysdale.

Gnoo Faces looks like David Gudgeon's work - that big cat in the first panel looks like the Beano's Richard the Lion.

I think Eebagoom was drawn by Albert Holroyd, but as far as the others are concerned, I am not sure.

Andy Boal's just identified them all for me!

-Eebagoom IS by Albert Holroyd (cheer, Blaing)
-Sea Urchin is by Murray Ball
-The Bandshees and Gnoo Faces is by Dave Gudgeon (cheers, Digi)

Digi, Albert drew Horace for Sparky in the 1970s, as well as Thingummyblob. Ah, the bliss!

So Wikipedia's Sparky page is wrong?

It may be correct, but incomplete. I honestly don't know whether or not George Drysdale drew Hungry Horace before Albert, as my knowledge of comics before the mid-1970s (ie when I first encountered comics!) is extremely limited.
