TV COMIC'S MIGHTY MOTH...


Copyright relevant owner

Seeing as how you've all been particularly well-behaved recently, here are the final two MIGHTY MOTH strips from the TV COMIC Annual for 1968.  Artist (and writer) DICK MILLINGTON had a pleasing style which served the strip well for the duration of its run, and many a modern-day cartoonist could do worse than take a leaf out of his book as to how to tell a story in a simple, straightforward, effective and - just as importantly - funny way.

(I'm surprised that, in the final panel of the strip below, Mighty Moth didn't mention dad's teeth looking even more like piano keys now, but perhaps Dick was just avoiding the obvious joke.)
