Me neither, but I've nicked a few...

Black Bag, the faithfull border bin-liner... just reminded me of comic strips of my youth.
Billy the Fish is however unsurpassable.

Billy the Fish is however unsurpassable.

One of my flatmates at Uni who was at Art College drew a few cartoons for the Uni Football club for Freshers Week in 1988, with me depicted as various Viz Characters.

I was:
"Noodley" the Fish.
"Noodley" Gonad.
"Noodley" the Sexist.
"Noodley" Fartpants.

I wish I'd kept them, they were very good.

The whole 'Thieving Gypsy Bastards' episode was something of a hoot. IIRC along the lines of:

Viz publish the strip.
Head of Gypsy council complains about stereotyping.
Viz publishes apology (after a fashion).
Head of Gypsy council found guilty of handling stolen generators...

Glory days.

Viz published a follow up cartoon called something like "The Kind Generous Gypsies" if I recall...

I used to love the "The Things"....hugely funny.

"Mr Logic" buying a pint of beer in a pub, and being called "Love" by the barmaid.

"She is interested in sexual intercourse...."

6/7 - it was my local mag for a number of years...

My favourites were Billy the Fish, and all those odd one-off Boys-Own style strips, like The Vibrating Bum-Faced Goats...

Oh, and Rude Kid: "Go twat on a brick!"

A question for Noodley,

Who was the kid who put himself on a cross in his bedroom, and was rebuked by his parents for "moving in mysterious ways"??

 

[Rhythm Thief]

5/7. Not great, given that I still buy every issue. Although how the hell would I know what TV series they took "Fulchester" from, or how much they charged students for the first issue?

Not sure..There was a character called something like Ivan Jellical so maybe that's him?
