1970! Wow. That looks like the 1950s, at best.
It originated from America, and was published in numerous countries. The English version was printed by Thorpe & Porter in Leicester, from 1961. There were 381 monthly issues.I used to read Mad. Was it not american?
Is that a euphemism?I often spent hours in the bathtub reading Donald Duck.
If they'd reversed the roles in that picture it would have looked extremely suspect for a children's comic, and more so now given the comic's title. I wonder if the roles were consciously depicted that way to avoid any such unsavoury interpretations.
You've gone down in my estimation HT The kool kids religiously bought Sounds on a Wednesday, the piss-poor relation to the glories of NME bought on a Thursday. And what a joy it was to go to a gig in London on a Wednesday and pick up an early edition of NME from the little stall outside Victoria station before catching the last train homeLoads over the years. Beano and Dandy, Whizzer and Chips, Cheeky Weekly (I remember buying the first edition with a free paper airplane thing), Shoot, Match and Look In. I remember having a pile of Beanos for the car trip to Newcastle in 1979.
Started reading Sounds quite early and then added Kerrang to my reading list.
Cor - you can’t make a monkey out of gusEvery Xmas the stocking filler was the annuals of ' Whizzer & Chips ' and ' Cor ' .
Oh god…Germans and bombing chip shops!Stan Boardman
I had hundreds of them. When I lived in SA. Up the road was a swap shop that you could “ rent” or swap a comic for10 cents. You just brought it back and swapped it for another one. Loved the commando onesThe Commando and War comics were A5 size booklets costing a 1/- (That‘s a shilling to you or 5p in this new fangled currency). As someone has already alluded to the dialogue would be very dodgy in today’s world. Some of the reasonable examples would go like this :
“ Achtung! Englander Spitfuer!”
“ Take that you filthy Hun!”
“Donner und blitzen!”
“ That’s one less Jerry to worry about.”
and the immortal “ So for you Tommy, the var is over!”
Dem’s were the days.
