In response to Peter’s request, below are full versions of my
personal favourite entries in the first series of COR-medy Choice competition.
As I have written in my reply to Peter's comment, had I had an opportunity to cast my vote, I
would have been in the minority: I’d have been interested to see more of Sheik
Oleg. I find the absurdity of this first episode quite amusing and
wonder what would have followed. IMHO, Professor Potty, Fun-Time
Machine and Snappy Sam were quite robust ideas with development potential.
Of course, this is all
from my current perspective as an adult; kids probably saw things differently. Seeing
that Val’s
Vanishing Cream and The Pipes of Stan got the majority
of the votes, I find it a bit surprising how children wanted to see more of
“kids-with-gimmicks” – type strips, despite having so many of them already in
the pages of COR!! as well as other companion and rival comics.
thanks for doing this..:)
ReplyDeleteOut of your choices I'd say the time machine one..
ReplyDeleteVal's Vanishing cream was good by Mike Lacey..
Reading the camel one again it is a good strip and full of ideas and silliness...liked the feet sticking out of the bin and the camel car wash being a soap and brush machine!! Stan is a good artist..
