*KAZOOP !!: PROF. CUBE'S FAMILY

welcome and enjoy!

Hi and welcome to my blog about comics from other people’s childhood! It is dedicated primarily to British humour comics of the 60s and 70s. The reason they are not from my childhood is simply because I didn’t live in the UK back then (nor do I live there now). I knew next to nothing about them until fairly recently but since then I’ve developed a strong liking for the medium and amassed a large collection, including a number of complete or near complete sets. My intention is to use this blog as a channel for sharing my humble knowledge about different titles, favourite characters and creators as I slowly research my collection.

QUICK TIP: this blog is a sequence of posts covering one particular comic at a time. The sequence follows a certain logic, so for maximum results it is recommended that the blog is read from the oldest post up.

PROF. CUBE'S FAMILY - Part One

In my previous post I mentioned strips that featured Prof. Cube’s family. I thought it would be refreshing to take a break from the routine of SH&Sh Annuals and Holiday Specials and actually show those strips because the publications they appeared in are quite rare and there is a good chance some of you haven’t seen them.

The first strip in the series of two can be found in the 1975 Frankie Stein Holiday Special and is devoted to Prof. Cube’s ancestors. The lively and dynamic artwork is by the excellent Frank McDiarmid. Come back soon for the second instalment featuring Professor’s aunts, uncles and cousins…
