Not
only were DC Thomson never big on comedy horror, they also rarely offered
cut-outs or pull outs. However, two consecutive issues in 1976 (Nos. 1802 and
1803) did have cut outs, and not just some ordinary cut outs but monster-themed
ones!
The
4-weeks’ competition began in issue 1800 dated 22nd May, 1976. At first the
challenge was to dress up Korky but then they changed the theme for some reason
and offered readers a possibility to assemble some funny monsters.

Interesting stuff, Irmy. I never had these comics, but by 1976, I'd grown out of cutting up similar type pages in other comics and I'm amazed by how readily I'd once done it as a matter of course. How many comics were mutilated beyond being collectable way back then, eh?

A (slightly) similar competition was ran in 1990... All sorts of fun!
