    Izal did not clean it merely dispersed. A vigorous wipe could lead to skid marks from your navel to the mddle of your back! :D

    sorry, st don't recall any of those charcaters, think mine were just beano and topper and mostly merely the annuals
    Strips in The Beezer included:
    • Adrian the Barbarian - reprinted as of 19 July 2008 issue (3441) of The Beano as Olaff the Madlander.
    • Baby Crockett - supposedly a baby version of Davy Crockett, but in practice a modern-day 'cute toddler' strip
    • The Badd Lads - a group of three criminals (Boss, Fingers and Knucklehead) always on the run or bungling an attempted crime. Drawn by Malcolm Judge
    • Barney's Barmy Army
    • Beefy Dan The Fast-Food Man
    • Black Bun - a rabbit stealing cabbages from a farmer
    • The Black Sapper - 1959 story about a thief who stole the Crown Jewels with his tunnelling machine called the Earthworm.
    • The Banana Bunch - a group of mischievous schoolchildren similar to The Bash Street Kids
    • Cap'n Hand and his merry mutineers - a pirate captain and his endlessly rebellious crew
    • Colonel Blink The Short-Sighted Gink
    • Fred's Bed - reprinted in The Beano.
    • Geezer
    • General Jim
    • Ginger - cover star in earliest issues, and from mid-1960s to 1990. [1]
    • The Gobbles - a group of vultures always on the lookout for food. Similar to The Three Bears
    • Hugh's Zoo
    • Hungry Hoss - a horse owned by Joe the cowboy robber who couldn't stop eating.
    • The Iron Eaters - sponges from space that ate iron, causing all kinds of problems
    • Little Mo - a generic resourceful/mischievous tomboy
    • My Pal, Ropey
    • Paw, Maw and Porky
    • Plug (from Plug)
    • Pop, !!!!!! and Harry - early cover story about twins trying to outsmart their father. In every issue.
    • Saucy Sue
    • Scrapper
    • Smiffy
    • Space Patrol
    • Spacewacker - name of the family spaceship. The feature was a development of the earlier 'Bushwacker' strip, in which an Australian father and his two children (who never grew older despite various versions of Bushwacker and many years of publication) - journeyed in a 'land yacht' capable of travelling on land or water under sail or jet engine power. Bushwacker later developed into a flying, sailing, submersible wheeled helicopter. The storyline moved on with the 'Spacewacker' in which the same party roamed around a strange alien world. The vehicle was a large bubble-fronted vehicle that travelled on rollers and bristled with gadgets on demand.
    • The Banana Bunch
    • The Hillys and the Billys - two feuding hillbilly families. This strip was surprisingly violent, with the families eager to shoot each other with shotguns - even to the point of co-operating in order to steal guns from the sheriff
    • The Munchers
    • The Numskulls - small "people" living in your head, each working in their own department: brain, eyes, nose, ears, and mouth (now in The Beano.)
    • Tommy's Toybox - Tommy finds a toolbox from space and builds all kinds of interesting things
    • True Brit
    • Tuff and Tiny
    • Twitt Hall
    • The Wallies of Winkle Street
    • Young Sid The Copper's Kid

    can remember most of these but some well must be old age
