What happens when you go sticking your nose through keyholes...

I'm sure you've all asked yourself that very same question, and here Keyhole Kate gives us the answer. This particular story is from Easter 1945 (March 31st to be exact.), drawn by Allan Morley;






So there you are! Remember kids, don't stick our nose through keyholes for you're sure to burned by a cigarette end! :D

As requested by Wizzkid97, I am putting up the first and second appearances of The Country Cuzzins for you to see. The strip was drawn by artist Hugh Morren, debuting in issue 1075 (Dated Feb 23 1963). Interestingly, that same issue also saw the debut of long running adventure story, The Q-Bikes. Anyway, here they are;






The strip finished in issue 1138, to be replaced by the long-running strip Billy Whizz in issue 1139.

Old comics you want to see!

Hi, sorry I haven't posted in ages, I've been caught up in other things. But now I'm back, and I should hopefully be able to post a lot more frequently from now on. Anyway, on with the show, eh?! :)

I promised I'd show some examples of my collection, and I have failed to meet that promise as of yet. But fear not, now I shall give you the chance to choose what i put up.

I will now give a list of what comics I have. They are practically all beano's but there are a few others too. Read through the list, and if I have what you want post a comment saying what you would like to see. you can be as specific as you like, anything from "Something from the 60's, please" to "could you put up a 1953 Roger for me, please?" If there is a certain strip you want but you're unsure of when it's from, just tell me the name of the strip and I'll see if i have an example of it.

So, here we go! (List will be updated when new comics arrive, so keep checking back.)
