A LOOK AT COR!! STRIPS: ZOO SUE

Zoo Sue. Sue had lived in the Zoo all her life because her Dad was Chief Zoo Keeper. The lass was quite a freak - she could instantly conjure up different animal body parts with some ghastly results. No explanation was offered as to how she came to possess the “talent” but Sue was probably the scariest Cortown citizen. The first episode (in which she sprouted an elephant’s trunk, tusks and ears to teach two bullying boys a lesson) was in the issue dated 29th July, 1972 (No. 113). The feature was dropped after just 23 weeks – the last installment was in the 1972 Christmas issue of COR!! with the cover date of 30th December (No. 135). Illustrator’s name is unknown to me, but the same artist contributed a number of episodes of Teacher’s Pet in COR!! and also drew Boney in KNOCKOUT.
