It took Ken
two months to come up with his next Faceache story arch, this one spanning two
weeks, in BUSTER cover dated 6th May and 13th May, 1978.
Little Timothy Twadle receives a food parcel
from home. He and Faceache decide to have a midnight feast while all other kids
are asleep. Anxious not to wake Mr. Thrashbottom, they tie pillows to
their feet...
...Faceache is heating food tins on the stove; Alfie Skunk starts to
snore and they put a clothes peg on his nose. But the snoring noise has already
got Thrashbottom out of bed and he’s coming downstairs to check…
Thrashbottom catches the boys red-handed and prepares to thrash them but Faceache runs a couple of scrunges at
him and discovers that the Headmaster has been walking in his sleep! Faceache instructs Timothy to keep an eye on the grub while he leads the fool back to bed. All is
well until the tinned food explodes on the stove because they forgot to punch
holes in the tins before heating...
...This time Thrashbottom comes down wide awake
and the boys suffer a thrashing.
