A LOOK AT COR!! STRIPS: LITTLE GEYSER


Little Geyser was a story about a kid-geyser and his quest for home. The lovable Little Geyser jumped out of hot springs in New Zealand and landed in the radiator of a tourist car. Separated from his home and Pa Geyser, he set to travel the World. He spent a few episodes on a luxury liner hoping it will take him home to New Zealand but ended up in England instead. There the poor Little Geyser spent some time with a dim English family who thought he was a fountain. Feeling sad and lonely, he tried to find another geyser that he could talk to. Later in the run he forgot all about New Zealand and concentrated on a search for a body of water to call home or simply chill – a pond, a canal, a stream, a sink full of water, a bucket, a soda pop dispenser, a washing machine, anything went. Needless to say his weekly experiments put him in all kinds of humorous situations.

From COR!! issue dated 26th December, 1970 (No. 30)

The feature ran from the first issue until 21st August, 1971 (issue 64) and missed a few weeks towards the end of its run (it did not appear on 19th September 1970, 15th May 1971, 29th May 1971, 19th June – 3rd July 1971, 17th July 1971, 31st July 1971 and 14th August 1971 (issue Nos. 16, 50, 52, 55-57, 59, 61 and 63)). Does anyone recognize the artist?

  1. The artist of this page is Enrich. But he drawed only 3 or 4 pages. Joan Rafart (Raf) was the artist in, at least, the first 20 pages. Vicar drawed 2 pages too.
