...'round for tea?  SPLODGE, Last of the Goblins, was a firm favourite of mine when I was younger.  I believe CHARLES GRIGG was the artist, with KEN H. HARRISON taking over when the strip was revived years later.  Here's a beautiful Splodge page for you to enjoy. 

(Anyone got the glow-in-the-dark Splodge mask that was given away in The TOPPER back in the very early '70s [I think]?  If so, I'll buy it from you at a reasonable price.)

Update: Don't worry - I've now got it!

DAVID NIXON WAS NOTHING LIKE THIS (HAND THROUGH GLASS TRICK)...

Okay, this is an old one by now, but it's still pretty

impressive.  So - prepare to be impressed!

MY JUANITA...

Here's C&W balladeer JIM REEVES yet again (it's Jim Reeves week here on Crivens!, remember), to soothe and relax you, and make all your troubles melt away.  Take it away, Jim - we're listenin'!

BABE Of The DAY - RAQUEL WELCH...

It's gonna be a warm day today, so

perhaps it's a mistake to feature a photo

that's likely to make you even hotter.  But,

hey - it's RAQUEL WELCH, man!  So

 sit on some ice or something.

SO WHY DIDN'T HE JUST EAT HIM...?

Here's a bizarre little tale sung by JIM REEVES.  Perhaps it's a warning against same-sex partnerships, but then again, maybe I'm just being facetious.
