Well I ran it through an inflation calculator but I don’t think it works. 4p in 1994 (when the episode To be a Somebody first aired) would be worth 9p today. Hmm…seems fishy. So then I remembered that Zoooad that you posted the cover of was 50p in 1992, so I ran that through the calculator…£1.12! Bargain, but I doubt it.

Do you mean these ones with two women in a flat who always had their boobly boobs out for no reason?
Striker was a real boring football strip. Like Roy of the Rovers only without the nice chew bar.

Yeah the two women who were always in the shower or had a towel on their head talking about going out and meeting boys/men -

I used to read The Perishers in Doctors waiting rooms.
It was everywhere. Doctor's waiting rooms, train stations, on buses, wrapped around the sausage supper – everywhere!
I'm surprised someone hasn't pitched it yet as a Netflix series. Lots of little musings for the day with no needless filth in there -

I’m surprised that they haven’t released collections of the strips yet. Books reprinting them all in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER!

There'll be some hobbyist out there Bobby with it all done, just waiting for the publishers to get onto it.
If they don't then I'm sure this hobbyist will grant access to their findings and let the literary academics decide what is what whilst everyone else gets to access it on the public domain of research available -

Rebellion should buy The Perishers from the Dodd estate. Rebellion have done wonders getting that wonderful old British comic content out there.

I reckon there could be cushions Bobby
And door matts and Boot's bowls and leashes and scarves and ties and oh, so much more Bobby -

It shouldn’t be overlooked just because it’s not American. Let’s have some collections of Garth too while we are at it.

Everybody speaks English Bobby
They should respect the British culture which sort of pulled it all together -

I agree and speaking of…Tharries is currently ranking all of the modern series episodes of Doctor Who in a LIVESTREAM!! He’s using one of these tier list things in which to do it!
