Then he had the Mad Professor build him four radio-controlled robot Santas and put them into work in competitors’ stores so that they would upset all the customers and drive them away, and they would all come to Grimly’s store. Quite a plot, isn’t it? All goes to plan until the robot Santas return to Grimly’s store and irritate a few costumers there. Grimly wants to escape with the cash but the sledge is too heavy for the deer to pull because the four Santas are also there. Grimly gets rid of the excess weight by discarding three of the four robots but the fourth Santa gets upset at the way Grimly has treated his friends so he throws the crook out of the sledge and Grimly lands straight in a cop shop where cops are celebrating Christmas.
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.
