Some great childhood memories:-)

Why do I get the feeling there’s more to this than meets the eye LD - especially since it’s you.

Would that be Rupert the Bear?

While I liked comic books as a child I wasn’t a huge fan of them. Not enough to collect them.

Punch … my grandparents used to read that. :smiley:

An excellent read and very funny, with contributions from Alan Coren, (remember his Idi Amin diaries?) Keith Waterhouse and was famous for its cartoons - I have a Punch book full of them.

Beano, Dandy, Victor, Hotspur, Eagle. Then, suddenly, for no discernable reason I can remember, comics went out of the window and in came books - Ian Fleming, Agatha Christie, Ngao Marsh, PG Wodehouse, etc.
