Faceache story arch No. 7 by Ken Reid was
called Hot Air and appeared in Buster and Monster Fun issues cover dated 27
January and 3 February 1979. It went like this:
Mr. Snipe asks Faceache to nip
to the store room and bring him some ink, a ruler and some blotting paper for
his next class. On his way back, Faceache finds the door to the room holding
the school’s hot-air central heating system.
He crawls down the vents planning
to flip ink pellets and splat the teacher. Mr. Snipe tells his class how anyone
of a rotten evil disposition will be singled-out and mercilessly smitten from
above (it was a Bible class). Faceache’s ink lands on the teacher’s face.
Hiding in the vents, Faceache hopes he’ll never be suspected. Meanwhile,
hot-air heating system cleaners call to offer their services to the Headmaster…
Cleaners seal the vents and start cleaning
the system. Faceache is forced to scrunge to
streamline himself against the blast but looses control of his scrunge muscles.
He crashes out of the system right into Mr. Snipe’s classroom. The teacher
realises it was Faceache who fired the ink pallet and gives the scrunged
Faceache a thrashing with Faceache’s upper body sticking from the vent in one
room and his rear end from another five classrooms away…
