- Baby Crockett - supposedly a baby version of Davy Crockett, but in practice a modern-day 'cute toddler' strip

- Barney's Barmy Army
- Beefy Dan The Fast-Food Man

- 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.)

- Twitt Hall
