Who do you think will win the compo?

That will depend entirely on who else enters with what besides Harry! As we don't know the answer to that, there's no point speculating.

Jim has left a message at the blog and said he has handed in the new Fatty Fudge page...

so can't be too long now..

Can you provide a direct link, please, Peter? I can't find anything and I'm also not sure which blog you're referring to...

Here you go, Swirlythingy...

The fifth comment down.

Although Jim did not mention the strip being sent in the comments section, I have a feeling he sent a private message to Peter informing him of the fact (but that is of course only speculation.)

Heres the link with the new message from Jim

I got a new email from Jim today......its a bit of fun so will be fine to show here..

Hi Peter, Just handed in Fatty page no.73--only1927 to reach the2000.!!! Help ma boab!!!- No thats the only 1.!!!!Not sure when FF will be published. U have a keen eye, your initials are in there. keep a lookout.

. Meanwhile pen & ink down, on with the paint Best wishes JIm

So my initials are going to be hidden in the story ..well that a nice surprise!

I had a shufti at the page this afternoon - the buzz of a new Jim Petrie page arriving fair took me back. It's rather fab, btw. Lovely stuff.

if there is only 72 previous FF stories i may look through my old beanos to see how many i have & reread them.

It's brilliant that a new Jim Petrie strip will be appearing in the Beano again soon. I can't wait to see it in the comic!

I always remember "Top of the Slobs" with Mince singing Little Red Courgette and Filled Colin singing "You can't curry gloves, no, you'll just lose some weight! You know gloves don't cook easy, it's a shame that they won't bake"

Takes me back to the 90's, I seriously can't wait.

When's it scheduled to be printed? Is it going in the Christmas issue because it's 'special', or earlier so as to make it stand out more?

Christmas sounds right to me. They still need to add colour and speech bubbles, then there's the publication lead time. I'd make that early December, and of course the second issue that month is probably the Christmas one.
