In the beginning of
1974 Ken Reid’s weekly output would have normally been 4 pages. However, there
are only 2 pages in IPC comics cover-dated March 30th 1974 – a Wanted Poster in
Whoopee! and a page of Jimmy Jinks in Scorcher.
Under normal circumstances, the other two regular pages would have been Faceache in Buster, but the paper missed that week due to industrial action, and a Creepy Creation in Shiver and Shake, but poor health and family problems prevented Ken from drawing it for the issue with that date.

Anyway, enjoy the pages from Whoopee!

The next four posts will cover the work of IPC's heavy duty drawing machines of the time...
