Are we putting them in order of rating, or shall we list them alphabetically?
And isn't it Wear 'Em Out Wilf?

Goood choice!! Added to the list..
Re: the Top 100 humour characters...UPDATED sorry;0)
Rent a Ghost from Buster?
Dennis the Menace from Beano?

Re: the Top 100 humour characters...UPDATED sorry;0)
Just because Dennis's arm featured in one Memory Banks strip doesn't qualify him for this poll
Good point though re Rent a Ghost. I nominate Harry's Haunted House.

Just thought of a couple of other good humour strips I've not yet seen mentioned (far as I recall):
Dads As Lads (Whoopee or Whizzer & Chips?) - quite amusing in parts on generation gaps.
Caretaker! (think it was called that) (School Fun) - about a school caretaker.

Re: the Top 100 humour characters...UPDATED sorry;0)
Dads as Lads originally appeared in Whoopee
the full title of the second strip from Buster was B. Ware - Caretaker.

It's been a difficult choice. My top humour stories are biased towards IPC's Monster Fun, Buster, Wow!, Cheeky, Jackpot, Whoopee - I read so many IPC titles back then.
So many other's deserve to be on the list and hard to do a definitive order, this is my choice:
1) Richie Wraggs (Jackpot)
2) Gums
3) Terror TV
4) Ginger (AKA Ginger's Tum)
5) Mummy's Boy
6) X Ray Specs
7) Calculator Kid
8 ) Bill & Coo (Wow!)
9) Creepy Comix
10) Tom Thug
11) Teddy Scare
12) Cheeky
13) It's a nice life
14) Country Cousin (Wow!)
15) Ivor Lott and Tony Broke
16) Buster
17) When 'e wus Young (Wow!)
18) Kid Kong
19) Bumpkin Billionaires
20) Junior Rotter
21) Bedtime Badtime
22) Cheeky's snail - Snail of the century
A choice for DC Thomson I would have chosen Dennis and Gnasher, Eebagoom, Bananaman, Korky the cat, Numbskulls and Black Bob.
