The next Faceache story arc by Ken Reid was
in the two consecutive issues of BUSTER with the cover dates of June 23, 1979
and June 30, 1979:
School cookie asks Faceache to nip down to
the butchers and get him a pig’s head for school dinners. On his
way to the village Faceache becomes thirsty, so he decides to call at farmer Jasper’s farm and
ask for a drink of milk. Knowing that the farmer hates school kids but loves
cats, Faceache scrunges into a stray pussy.
Farmer Jasper has just created a
potion that will increase his bacon production. Faceache drinks the “milk” and it alters Faceache’s normal self drastically. When he demands a pig’s
head at the butchers’ the butcher tells him he’s in luck because he’s already
got one…
Terrified, the lad rushes to the school
clinic. On the way back to school, the effects of the pig-potion wear off without
Feceache’s knowledge.
Faceache tries to explain his situation to the cook who
can’t make any sense of his babbling and takes him to the Headmaster.
