Nostalgia for Childhood comics.

I used to read Twinkle as a child and then Bunty. I loved my dad's Sunday Post newspaper so I could read Oor Wullie and The Broons and then my teenage years were spent reading Jackie, My Guy and Oh Boy!, ripping out the pictures of gorgeous boys to stick on my bedroom wall. Those were the days....

I used to get comics for younger chldren called "Chicks' Own" and "Tiny Tots". Anyone remember these? Perhaps you are all too young.

Bunty, June and School Friend, Mandy, Judy and later as I got older Jackie and Petticoat.

I also used to get Beano and Dandy occasionally.

There used to be a stall at our local market which used to sell American comics. I used to get Casper and Little Dot

I had a work colleague who used to work at Jackie magazine. She told me they used to make quite a bit of the stuff up. I remember reading that David Cassidy liked tea and coffee mixed together. Turns out it was made up. I was devastated as I had actually tried the tea/coffee combo when I was about 13. I was a huge David Cassidy fan in those days

Alioop my Grandad took The Sunday Post and always saved me the kids bit, I loved the antics of The Broons & Oor Wullie sat on his bucket. I still buy a Broons calendar or Annual occasionally, just takes me right back. Wonderful how they never age

I always really, really wanted some of the things advertised in U.S comics.
Xray glasses, but most of all, sea monkeys - pictured as little tiny monkeys, swimming and playing under the water.
I was desperate for some!

I had Pippin or Jack and Jill when I was very small. When I was older l had Judy or Bunty and Diana. My brother had the Dandy. As a young teenager it was Jackie, along with all my friends. The Cathy and Claire page was a must as we would give our own solutions to the problems. How innocent they seem now.
As a side note, as a private music teacher l have a book case with some Beano and Dandy annuals for children to look at if they are waiting for brothers or sisters. Interestingly, the one they like best is the one that is about forty years old as it has the children being put over their parent or teacher’s knee, which the modern ones do not.

I was a tomboy and read The Valiant comic.

I used to have Bunty delivered and Jackie. The Bunty annual at Christmas. I can't remember any of the stories now though.

The Girl and Schoolfriend.

I always had the Beano and the Dandy...Dennis the Menace and Minnie the Minx, the Bash Street Kids and Desperate Dan stick in my mind.

I used to read my [boy] friend's' Roy of the Rovers comics then went onto the Bunty. For some reason I didn't get the Bunty but used to go to my friends house and read them all there for ages while she would play 'dressing up' on her own. I wasn't interested in that. I've always been a bookworm.

I was probably putting my pocket money into saving for books like 'Famous Five', 'William' and 'Jennings' series etc.

My sister and I had “Look and Learn” I loved Nurse Susan and Doctor David! My two older brothers had The Beano and Dandy. They fiercely guarded them and wouldn’t allow us to read their comics. Surprisingly they never wanted to read ours.????

I was always nose in a book , but we did not actually get comics bought for us but of course I read as many of those that I could beg borrow or pick up.So cant remember which comic it was in but remember Desperate Dan with the big cow pie with the horns through the pastry, and Dennis the Menace and was itt Beryl the Peril? Probably shows my age by how old these charactors are!

From being little I got a weekly comic delivered to the house. Started with the baby ones, then Judy, Jackie, Romeo in that order. Mum got Woman magazine so when comics stopped I read that.

I wasn't allowed a comic every week just occasionally, and always one when we went on holiday. But I would usually be given an Annual at Christmas. I still have all my Rupert Bear Annuals. I liked Bunty, Judy, Diana and Jacky. Didn't like Beano or the Beezer.

Bunty then Jackie (such innocent questions on the Cathy & Claire page “Should I kiss my boyfriend”) then eventually Cosmopolitan!!

The arms and legs of the cut-out Bunty dolls would always be in slighhtly different positions, so the clothes of one woiuld not fit the others.

I used to get the Beano, sometimes the Dandy but the Eagle was by far my favourite.

I used to love the clothes with the little tabs that folded.
My mum always thought they were silly though.

Comics were banned in my house until I could get my maths up to scratch so I had to read other people's comics. I loved reading my friend's Judy and her brother's Beano.

I was a childminder and one summer I had the care of 10 children for 6 weeks. One day I made a steak pie in a Roasting tin. As I brought it in, one of my Mindees said. “OH Cow Pie”.

Forty years later my kids and GCs still use the name.

I love reading all of the posts on these thread. It makes me feel like I a am are still part of a community.

Loved Bunty, Judy, School Friend, Princess, then Mirabelle and Fabulous. I also still have a few annuals.

p.s and also Jackie

Oh yes, Jackie.
My friend had a Jackie CD a few years back, with all the songs from that time on it.

I was allowed to read Sunny Stories. A little comic book in the 1940s made up of short stories written by Enid Blyton. I bought School Friend when I was at High School in the 1950s My daughter's read Twinkle.

I loved the smell of the christmas annuals.
We had the Beano,Dandy and Jackie annuals.
Great memories.
