Do you remember Jackie magazine?

Did one of the comics have character called Bimbo? he was a baby , or he looked like one.

green... when

And Gnasher had a pet pig called Rasher! !

My children had a good friend when they were in primary school. Her dog was called 'Gnasher' and he looked like Denis's dog. He was generally well behaved, except for the time as a puppy when he chewed an old lady's walking stick as she sat next to the family on a park bench

jeni perhaps 'Gnasher' was a great, great grand-dog of Donald.

He was modelled on Donald!

I liked Dennis the Menaces dog Gnasher!

I thought that was Lettice Leaf?

...and holes in her wrinkly black stockings. So chic!

Oh - I remember her! Did she have glasses and plaits? And wore a gymslip ?

green I may choose to dress as 'Keyhole Kate' loved that little rascal.

So soop can just carry a rolled-up copy of the Beano to identify her in Glasgow for the meet-up, then!

Watch it, Bags

Definitely, soop!

...and so I am, green

Yes - I'd read somewhere that Jacqueline Wilson was a young junior in DC Thomson's (publisher) offices in Dundee when the comic was being prepared for issue. They named it after her...(I'd written that already, further back....)!

Oh soop - I can just picture you sitting there reading the Beano....our own Minnie the Minx!

I remember jackie, we loved the problem page, all about periods etc. i remember it was around early adolescents so we were worried about 'kissing properly'!
Then there was 'my guy' i think it was called, we were a bit older then.

I liked the Dandy and Beano...just thought I'd say

Just have to say that this post is lovely and I agree Jackie was a great magazine although looking back the editors were encouraging the route of all female mags which I observe to be - be perfect and you will be happy!!
I also have the CDs and they certainly transport. Wonder if there are any old copies lying about for us to look at?

I've read a few of Jacqueline Wilsons books , I know they're for kids but I enjoyed them!

She was already writing as a little girl, jess.

Can"t really remember Jackie , loved Girl comic

What really ? When JW was a little girl? Someone named the comic after her?
The JW mag is rather good. It occasionally has a silly edition (e.g. around valentines day) but generally age appropriate for 6-11 year olds. The only other ones I will buy for DGD are the wildlife ones. The rest are rubbish, do we think?

DD now gets the Jacqueline Wilson Mag. It was Jacqueline Wilson that Jackie magazine was named after. DD loves her books too.
