BABE Of The DAY - RACHEL RILEY...

Patience, panting Crivvies,

here's the beautiful RACHEL

RILEY.  However, I know you lot

are never happy.  I'll wager you've

already begun the countdown to

the next Babe post on Crivens.

(See what I did there?)

THE KID HAS A 'NEW' BLOG...

Always looking back

For anyone who might be interested, I've started a new Blog - although it mainly features old posts from this one.  However, it's not so comics-orientated, being more concerned with my melancholy musings about the past.  Although some comics are mentioned, it's only in passing and doesn't focus on them per se.

Some of you will have read these posts before, of course, but many haven't.  So whether you're about to read them for the first time or simply want to renew your acquaintance, feel free to pay a visit to my 'new' Blog here.  

HOORAY! IT'S The COMPLETE DENNIS The MENACE BOOK COVER GALLERY - PART THREE...

Ah, they don't make DENNIS The MENACE Books like these anymore - mainly because they don't make them at all.  The last Dennis Annual came out a few years back and it doesn't look as if the books are destined to return to D.C. THOMSON's publishing schedule any time soon.  Too bad - although, that said, the last few seemed to reflect the TV cartoon more than the comic strip character I knew of old, and I was growing increasingly disenchanted with them.

Never mind.  At least we can still enjoy these wonderful covers from a time before an editorial urge to 'update' everything that was good overwhelmed and diminished that which was already perfect.  Bloody 'new kids' on the block - think they know everything.
