With Scream Inn covered in detail and out of the way, let us now turn to page 8 of Shiver and Shake No. 1 and take a look
at Biddy’s
Beastly Bloomers. The one-pager illustrated by Sid Burgon depicted adventures
of a little girl Biddy and three odd-looking carnivorous flowers that planted
themselves in the garden and were at the root of all the trouble to come. The cunning
food-grabbing plants were on a permanent grub alert, ready to munch and chop any
food they could get at, be it sausages, bacon, sweets or fruit. Biddy’s
working-class Dad quickly came to dislike them and plotted different schemes to
get rid of the creepy creepers but always ended up in trouble.
Biddy’s
Beastly Bloomers had a very short run in SHIVER AND SHAKE issues
1 to 19 and was part of SHIVER section where the feature appeared on page 8. The total
number of episodes came to 17 because it didn’t appear in issues 7 and 11.
