ROOBARB & CUSTARD...

A great TV show I loved in the 1970s was ROOBARB & CUSTARD, narrated by RICHARD BRIERS.  The animation was shaky (deliberately so), the storylines were mental, and the theme tune was pure dead brilliant (as we say in Glasgow).  I was glad to see some comic strips based on the show in the TV COMIC Annual for 1977 (which I bought near the end of '76), so I thought you might like to see them too.

FAMOUS FILM STAR FOUND IN A 'THREESOME'...

I don't know if BARNEY BEAR ever appeared in a comic strip in America, but he had his own page in the weekly TV COMIC here in Britain.  The strips featured in this post were drawn by BILL TITCOMBE, one of the finest cartoonists this country ever produced.

So, enjoy a 'threesome' of Barney Bear strips from TV Comic Annual for 1977 (issued in '76).  Go on, have a laugh on me.  (On, I said, not at, you rascals.)

(Note that the stories have an element of wit about them, usually lacking in today's offerings.  If they were still writing them like this, maybe more people would be buying what few British comics remain.)
