Stoneage Brit Ancient Nit was a short-lived series in the vein of the Flintstones telling adventures of a
little pre-historic kid. Weekly antics involved mammoths,
dinosaurs, etc. Stoneage Brit had an
enemy named Ug who was an ape-like club-wielding brute. The
feature was quite similar to Glugg -
a strip that appeared in WHAM! in the 60s. One
of the things that Stoneage Brit had
in common with Glugg was his turn for
innovation and invention

The artwork was rather crude – perhaps appropriately
for a strip about pre-historic times. Stoneage Brit Ancient Nit lasted until 7th
November, 1970 (issue No. 23) and missed a couple of weeks towards the end of
its modest run (it did not appear on 26th September, 1970 and 10th
October, 1970 (issue Nos. 17 and 19)). It was hardly missed by many when it disappeared
from the pages of COR!!
Thanks to Niblet who referred me to the appropriate post
on another blog (see comments below), I can now add that the illustrator was
Tony Goffe.

And now I’ll take a deep breath before the next batch
of three or four posts that I plan to devote to one of the most exciting COR!! strips
- Kid Chameleon…
I can't wait...:))
ReplyDeleteThe artwork on this strip looks like it's by the artist who drew Loser in Whizzer and Chips. Don't know the name.
ReplyDeleteBy coincidence, looking at the latest post on Peter's blog led me to Lew's blog, and the artist is Tony Goffe http://lewstringer.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/seventies-nostalgia-more-adverts-from.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, Niblet! One of the reasons I am writing this blog is the hope that readers will help me in identifying the artists whose style I can‘t recognise. That same post that you referred me to also confirms the name of the arist who did Super Mousse adverts in COR!! In 1971 – Peter Ford.
