Well, What do you Know??? Every installment of the funny facts feature
consisted of a number of panels, each made up of two parts – there was a
serious fact on the left hand side and its humorous interpretation on the
right. It started in COR!! with the cover date of 5th August, 1972 (No. 114)
and appeared irregularly until 15th September, 1973 (No. 172).

I may be wrong but irregular appearances,
varying size (sometimes a half-pager and sometimes a full one-pager) as well as
something about the general “feel” suggests it may have been a reprint from an
older comic. As for the artist, I am tempted to say it was Reg Parlett but after
the confusion with the authorship of the Shiver and Shake strip covered in my
previous post I am not so sure :) Besides, the name of the feature is not
mentioned in the account of Reg Parlett’s work in the Winter 1979 issue of the Golden Fun fanzine – another argument
in favour that it was by a different artist, unless the feature had originally
appeared under a different name.
I've seen reprints of the feature in a KRAZY annual.
