Unknown Character Query
Hi Everyone
I am new to this forum and my name is Mark. I always remember a character that I think may have been in the Topper, but Ironically I can only remember the character and not the name. It involved a medieval jester who lived in a tower and had a book that he referred to, to solve problems. I don't think it was a magic spell book, more like a book of scientific knowledge ahead of its time.
Looking forward to any suggestions

Re: Unknown Character Query
Could it be Jingo The Jester from The Topper in 1970 and 1985? He lived in the stables at Creaky Castle.

Lester The Jester?

Re: Unknown Character Query
Sir Laughalot springs to mind, with his fetching red suit of armour, but I don't think it's him.....

Re: Unknown Character Query
Ken Hunter's beautifully clean lines graced both Sir Laughalot and Jingo The Jester, which may be why you are confusing them Rab.
I know that I frequently mix the pair up.

Re: Unknown Character Query
But I don't think Sir Laughalot has a book. Jingo has his Master Book Of Fun that he consults when constructing things.colcool007 wrote:Ken Hunter's beautifully clean lines graced both Sir Laughalot and Jingo The Jester
Re: Unknown Character Query
Thanks for solving this mystery everyone. I'm now off to google Jingo The Jester and try to find a few pictures
Re: Unknown Character Query
I'm not sure if there are many Jingo pages available on the net. Here's one from his second appearance in October 1970:

Re: Unknown Character Query
I probably have every issue of Topper from 1970 - 1972 but they are all tucked away in storage.

Re: Unknown Character Query
phil, how did you manage to upload a full comic page? I've tried and I'm told I can't upload more than 300 kb!
Re: Unknown Character Query
Yes, and I am interested to know how Jingo saved the day.
