YET MORE DETECTIVE WORK

Lew Stringer recently wrote a blogpost dedicated to WHAM! No. 67 that came out this week in 1965, you can read it here. A sharp-eyed commentator was quick to observe that the episode of The Tiddlers on the front cover was another of Leo Baxendale’s remakes of his own Bash Street Kids stories from The BEANO. The original set of The Bash Street Kids was in THE BEANO No. 960 with the cover date of 14th May, 1960. It was also included in Leo Baxendale’s book A Very Funny Business to illustrate how the pressures of the production line were distorting his drawing style.

So that’s another ‘remake’ accounted for. Thanks to Lew Stringer for the blogpost and the commentator NP for the heads-up!
