Recently, I posted the complete issue of HOOT #1 on this blog so that those of you who bought it as kids could re-acquaint yourselves with its treasures, and to show those who weren't around at the time just what they missed. Hoot came out at a time when I was mainly buying only the first three, free-gift issues of any new British comic (unless it was one I really wanted to collect in its entirety), but for some reason I missed #2, so only had the first and third issues, along with #10, which was the Christmas number, in my collection.
Not any more! Today I took possession of that second ish, thereby fulfilling my original, nearly 29 year old intention of acquiring the first three issues. It may have taken me almost 30 years (28 and a half, to be a tad more precise), but I got there in the end. Here's the cover and some of the interior pages so that you can all rejoice along with me in my 'new' acquisition.

Kid, what would you do without e-bay ?!
I'm just a few months older than the first issue of Hoot... Maybe that might explain my particular feelings for it?
An "affinity", if you will?
I'd be the poorer for all sorts of things without it, that's for sure, Col.

It's not a bad little comic - nothing brilliant, but not bad. Maybe one day I'll collect the remaining 50 issues, THB.
Quite a nice looking comic, I was aware of it at the time but being about 25 when it came out I wasn't buying kids comics (to be honest I stopped buying kids humour comics at about 11 years old barring the odd issue here and there) - like the Hoot Squad lovely cartooning
I'd mostly given up on them too, McScotty, but usually bought the first three issues of any new comic. I still bought the Christmas number of The Beano every year 'though.
