THe Broons

Post by Hawkeye »

You know how a thought sometimes just jumps into your head for no obvious reason?

I've just had a page from a Broons book drawn by DDW with 3 twins in the same scene flash before my eyes. Did that really happen or was it a dream?

I’m quite sure you’re right. I have a vague memory, and it probably involved Oor Wullie pretending to be a third twin, being the right size.

It's not a Dudley D Watkins one but was done in the mid-1980s. The punchline was that it was all for a fancy dress party.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

I was thinking of getting all my old Broons annuals out and going through them. I'm sure the one I think I saw was 50s or 60s.

I've got a heap of comics to sort out first them I might have a look. I'm not doubting your word, I just need to have a check to convince myself.

Are the Broons and Oor Willie strips currently in the Sunday Post reprints?

No Steve. They are all new, complete with artist and writer credits these days.

I rarely get the Sunday Post these days, but if I do I make a point of NOT reading Wullie or The Broons. Seeing Wullie with a mobile phone just makes me feel sick. I know newspapers have to keep up with the times and all that, but come on !!!!!!!!!!
