The Big Bash Street Kids Vote!

Post by BeanoMaster »

To celebrate 60 years of The Bash Street Kids I want to do a poll to see who is everyone's favourite Bash Street Kids character.

This doesn't have to be one of the kids though, it could be Teacher, Olive or even Techno (he hasn't been in for years)

Please vote for your top 3 (in order please)

For some reason, my favourite character has always been Winston.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

01-Wilfred's always been my favourite - imagine my joy when the Beano Calendar 1994 had a "Find Wilfred" feature every month!

02-Spotty's the runner-up. Always loved his weird face and long tie, and in the Kev Sutherland/Mike Pearse stories his character's gone through a fair bit of development.

03-Sidney, "the quiet one". He had a good feature in the 1993 Beano book titled "Who's who at Sidney's Zoo?", several strange and wonderful characters by Bob Dewar.

3. Olive the Cook

I've never been much of a fan of the Bash Street Kids. Though I did buy issue 1 of Plug way back in time now.

My friend say's his favourite character is Plug. He say's that he's 2 other friends that liked Plug so much they also bought the Plug comic in the 1970's.
Did you know: If you search for Plug on any well known search engines you get more than a few results for spark plugs!

My nephew, who loves the Beano and rates Bash street kid's 12 out of 10, likes Danny best of all.

Danny's skull and crossbones design was well ahead of it's time: skull designs in clothing are common today, but Danny was sporting this idea way back in the 50s!

Probably
Winston
Plug
Danny.
I wonder if that new accident prone character that was introduced a few years back then probably transferred to another school will get any votes :lol:
