Hi, Carol;
I saw the news yesterday.
I got "The Beano", "Sparky", "The Beezer", etc, when I was a kid. They were a
must for those of us of a certain age.
The annuals at Christmas were gold to us!
I don't really miss any of those D.C. Thompson comics, but one thing I DO miss
about the Thompson empire, being blind, is "The Sunday Post".
That's a Scottish institution. Quirky, a bit old-fashioned, but still a best
seller each Sunday.
Oh, I know it's online, and available in Talking Newspaper format, but....
Well, there are two things missing.
The Broons. and Oor Wullie.
These are ongoing cartoon strips, and have become almost iconic in Scotland.
The annuals outsell anything else on the bookshelf at Christmas.
Although I have a very little sight, it isn't enough to deal with these
literary classics!
Forget Dickens, Austen and the rest.
Jings!
Crivvens!
Help ma boab!
( Alex and Dawn will understand...it's a Scottish thing! )
