| Notes | No longer Funny, and fortnightly due to paper rationing. Very firmly in the Stanley Gooch template, which I find dry but he kept doing for another 10 years, so presumably it was very popular at the time. -The triple bill front page has two Gooch trademarks - the limerick strip and the "never let a character die" resurrection of George the Jolly Gee-Gee, who had been sent to the glue factory by Radio Fun in favour of someone who had actually been on the radio. At least all three are by Roy Wilson. -Another Gooch fixture was the "seasoned traveller anecdotes" format. The Traveller would later turn up in TV Fun, while near-identical features appeared in basically every Gooch comic. -Sonny Day and Whiskers was by Reg Parlett, and must be in the running for the longest title ever used by a mainstream British comic. -Bit of the old racism in the middle pages with Mississippi Max. Amazingly is not the most racist strip Fred Adkins drew. -Ron Roy was by Harry Parlett and again seems to be an attempt to respond to DCT's wackiness, though again it's set in exactly the same Edwardian London as basically every other AP strip of the previous 40 years. -Roy Rogers on the back page; reputedly Rogers basically kept Wonder's sales propped up in the last few years (losing the rights to TV Comic basically killed the title). C. E. Montford was the artist. | |||
