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.

WHOOPEE! 1978 CUT-OUT X-MAS CARDS – PART ONE



If you enjoyed my previous two posts with 1979 WHOOPEE! pull-out Christmas labels, you might like the next two featuring the pull-out X-mas cards offered to the readers of WHOOPEE! in 1978.


There were 10 cards all in all, and they were printed in WHOOPEE! issues cover-dated 18th and 25th November and 2nd December 1978. WHOOPEE! was affected by industrial action in December 1978 and missed three weeks after Dec. 2nd, so it was nice of the editors to supply the young readers with the nice set of cards well beforehand. Here are the first six, and four more will follow soon. Enjoy!
