Sample Simon was a strip that had one of the shortest runs in SHIVER AND SHAKE. As the title suggests, Simon was always eager to take free trial offers and try out free samples or goods he got on approval. Simon sampled Fixo glue, a 100-volume handyman’s encyclopedia, a parachute, an unbreakable tea set, Cleanso vanishing cream, Fizzo lemonade powder, Strongo strength potion, cement mixer, carpet shampoo, etc.
The strip ran in SHIVER AND SHAKE issues 1 to 21 and failed to appear in
No. 17. The artwork was rather sketchy and unimpressive to my eye. I don’t know
the artist’s name.
