What was your favourite comic as a child?

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.

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!

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

I loved the original Beano too!

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

Dandy and Beano.

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!

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!

Diana magazine, then Jackie and then Petticoat.

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!

Bunty, Judy and the Beano then Jackie.

I think I remember Mandy.

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

Also Twinkle with the girly giveaways.

Teen years brought forth Jackie & MAD magazine.

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!

I remember the robin family, too.

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!

School Friend, Bunty and Topper.

At last. There’s someone else who remembers Walter Hottle Bottle. Whenever I’ve mentioned him to friends and family I’ve always got puzzled looks. Even now, at the age of 61, I still refer to my hot water bottle as Walter

I remember Walter hottle bottle😃 I got Jack and Jill every week

My dad used to bring me Jackie every Friday after work along with a quarter of milk bottles, a real treat 😁 liked Bunty too with the dressing up doll on the back

I always loved the dress up dolls, but I wasn't allowed that comic.
I think my mum didn't like all the little bits of paper involved.

School Friend and I still have my little metal badge for being a member of the school Friend Birthday Club. It’s a little bluebird with the initialsSFBC. Anyone else still have theirs I wonder?

Twinkle, Bunty, Diana then Jackie. All delivered to the door over the years.

Burnt and Judy

When I was a bit older I longed for Honey though my mother wouldn’t buy it. Very occasionally I saved enough pocket money and bought a copy. How I poured over every word!
