keltoi Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 there used to be a cartoon strip in the beano or the dandy or similar, based on a family of little guys that lived inside a man's body, operating his everyday functions, controlling him like a big machine from the brain/control room. they'd show a big cross section of the body and the little guys working in their different jobs/areas.. can any of you old buggers(like me) recall anything like this? would have been around '80-'84 ish. i'm trying to work out the comic and the strips name? it looked like a more comic version of this but with more little guys and departments...

klanty Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Little Plum and The Three Bears are another couple of Beano characters. I never really read the Dandy as I joined the Beano Fanclub and my tiny child's mind thought that reading the Dandy might get me into trouble. I was a fairly stupid child. Anyway, the best comic was blatantly Oink. Viz for kids, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Winston Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 My mate used to bullshit me that he had the first Beano all the time. But I could never see it as it was always "In transit" or "In the loft and I dont know where it is". Arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
