I think you go down faster than you go up. In the UK, I remember Nancy cartoons inside the bubblegum wrappers. In those days after WW2, visiting Americans brought bubblegum to the poor, disadvantaged Brits, thinking that was the most important thing missing in their diets, I suppose. We had Dennis the Menace but he was not the same one as in the USA; he was more of a deliberate menace. From a regional perspective, in Scotland, we had Oor Wullie and The Broons. I remember Desperate Dan, a cowboy who was always eating cow pie which was about 6ft in diameter and with a pair of horns sticking out the top. Edited January 15, 20224 yr by dmwalker Dugald Walker

January 20, 20224 yr Fritzi Ritz whose comic was inexplicably taken over by her niece, Nancy. Li'l Abner was surreal and spawned the custom of "Sadie Hawkins Day," where girls were encouraged to ask boys out. There was the character Fearless Fosdick who was always shot, leaving neat little holes in him, which were always "merely a flesh wound." Li'l Abner rivals the MCU in number of characters and plot lines.
