What was your favourite comic as a child?

School Friend, Bunty and Topper.

I remember my sister loving Walter Hottle Bottle! As a child I always LOVED comics and flirted with many, Diana, Princess, June and Schoolfriend, but Bunty was my favourite! I used to get it every week and maybe one other. Bunty had the best stories and the cut out doll! Loved the Four Marys at St Elmo’s and wished I could go to a jolly boarding school like that! When I was older it was Jackie, Petticoat, Mirabelle etc and on to Honey, 19 and then the grown up ones! I STILL adore magazines and treat myself to good old Woman’s Weekly and a couple of monthlies. Just wish I could find such innocent delight in them as I did the comics of my youth!

I remember the robin family, too.

For Grayling and GSM, The Adventures of the Robin Family which I took from a February 1955 copy of Woman’s Weekly which I have here for some unknown reason!

Bunty & Judy.
Beano & Dandy,
Topper & Beezer.

Also Twinkle with the girly giveaways.

Teen years brought forth Jackie & MAD magazine.

I think I remember Mandy.

Bunty, Judy and the Beano then Jackie.

Was it Bunty that had the cut out doll on the back with paper cut out clothes, shoes bags etc? I loved that but it was annoying that the fold back flaps that attached the clothes to the doll never stayed in place and the clothes fell off!

Yes! I just remembered, it was Bunty with the cut out doll with clothes that didn't stay on. The paper was very thin!

Diana magazine, then Jackie and then Petticoat.

I loved Girl,it gave you useful advice about how to sit elegantly and how to talk to boys! Then I bought Honey and Date. That was embarrassing asking for a Date in the newsagents!

My dear school chum got Judy and I got Bunty. We saved every copy then swapped huge bundles at the start of every school holidays so we had plenty to keep us quiet! Also had School Friend. But Diana had better free gifts!

Dandy and Beano.

Bunty was there a comic called Mandy as well? Loved reading as a child and still do.

I loved the original Beano too!

I always loved Misty and collected each and every one of them! richarddalbyslibrary.com/cdn/shop/products/[email protected]?v=1594297960

Bunty,, SchoolFriend and Girls Crystal. My sister and I also had the annuals at Christmas.I looked out for the delivery boy from the newsagent.We loved those comics!

Chicks Own when under school age, later Girl delivered every Wednesday.

I also read every Beano and Dandy I could get hold of. My neighbour had the Eagle and I liked Dan Dare - also on the wireless at 7.15 - Luxembourg.

My brother was bought Cor!! comic. I used to read that after he had finished with it, as well as my own comics. I wasn't interested in his Look and Learn, though.

Oops...... Not Fancy, should be Dandy. Predictive text.

My dad brought me Bunty and Judy and School Friend. My brother got Beano, Fancy and Hotspur. I loved Thursday evenings.

Ooh, just remembered The Silent Three in Schoolfriend! All in their cloaks.......

Loved Beano and Dandy, then moved on to Girl's Crystal and Schoolfriend. Then got hooked on Bunty!

The Girl. Lots of information on careers etc. stories etc. Had it from first issue together The School Friend.

Does anyone remember Misty. It was all spooky stories, I stopped reading it as it scared me but my mum and dad used to read it!

Bunty. I loved the Four Mary's.

I do remember Walter Hottle Bottle though! Hot water bottles referred to as such for long after we were far too old!!
