SPORTS THEME IN BRITISH COMICS TO CELEBRATE LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 (DAY 16)


As the 2012 Summer Olympics are slowly approaching the end, I will use today’s post to show several random strips and tick a few checkboxes in my checklist of Olympics sports that haven’t been illustrated so far in this sports-themed series. The sports in question include basketball, archery, wrestling, dressage and gymnastics. 

From Whoopee! and Shiver and Shake dated 22nd March, 1975
From The Beano No. 794 dated 5th October, 1957
From the Beano No. 787 dated 17th August, 1957
From Whoopee! dated 20th August, 1977

This BEANO cover was the closest illustration to synchronized swimming that I could find; admittedly, not close enough :) ...
