Foundation this one year’s seek motivate at Christmas comics of the previous and to kick off right here’s just a few pages from the pain of Whoopee! that changed into on sale spherical this time in 1980. The masks is by Robert Nixon, one among the premier artists in humour comics of that length. Even supposing he changed into very powerful influenced by the work of Roy Wilson of the 1940s, Nixon made it more up-to-the-minute and cuter.
Inside of, Sweeny Toddler started off the festivities with strip drawn by Tom Paterson who by this time changed into making the strip his contain after ghosting Leo Baxendale’s fashion…
