welcome and enjoy!
Hi and welcome to my blog about comics from other people’s childhood! It is dedicated primarily to British humour comics of the 60s and 70s. The reason they are not from my childhood is simply because I didn’t live in the UK back then (nor do I live there now). I knew next to nothing about them until fairly recently but since then I’ve developed a strong liking for the medium and amassed a large collection, including a number of complete or near complete sets. My intention is to use this blog as a channel for sharing my humble knowledge about different titles, favourite characters and creators as I slowly research my collection.
QUICK TIP: this blog is a sequence of posts covering one particular comic at a time. The sequence follows a certain logic, so for maximum results it is recommended that the blog is read from the oldest post up.

It’s slightly jarring, but always pleasant, to see Graham Allen’s Chip artwork with his contemporaneous Cor output; by the early ‘70s he seemed to have got over his bulbous-body and half-closed-eyes phase! Interestingly, there’s a recurrent theme running through his characters; angst, of whatever description, displayed by Chip, 5-Minute Wanda, Eddie and, to a point, Spoilsport. Roll on the gloriously ghoulish days of Fiends & Neighbours’ near the end of ’73!
