Comic heroine time

An odd start to the week here with various things to work through with chores and errands to run but we're getting on for just over six weeks off the seventieth  anniversary of a famous girl who I grew up with.

She came through the letterbox after some other pages devoted to Biffo the Bear and a little ten year rascal called Dennis who back then really was a menace!

She was very much my heroine always getting into trouble, thinking she'd got it sorted but the groan ups always seemed to get the upper hand which as her world like ours back then often featured a parents hand and a slipper was one we could easily relate to.

That classic cartoon was from the late Leo Baxendale drawn in the nineteen fifties when she emerged but twenty years on, things were much the same, trust me!

A bad  school report never got unpunished if they felt it was all about you and your attitudes.

Today's Minnie like the rest of society has moved on, more cheeky mischief making minx who runs rings around the groan ups than paying the price of her actions but she's still fun and a great weekly read.

Thanks

Sometimes you end up looking at the past and with both this Covid-19 business an a few other issues on my mind  it's no that surprising I'd be looking at the comics I read as girl which as I wasn't well for a chunk of that time kept my spirits up.

 

Minnie The Minx as a favourite of mine in the era she'd be a minxing and Dennis really was the menace and like us they'd both pay for it in the end in this classic October 19th 1957 edition in a novel way.

It also references the popularity of Calypso music which was coming in after a decade of immigration from the West Indies to Great Britain.

Cartoon strips such as that I find have always helped lifting my spirits and also thanks for those who have send me their love recently.
