M&J – neighbours and friends

Plot

The two title characters of M&J become best friends when Judy Jones moves next door to Mandy Taylor. This starts as a 2 page humour and soap like, picture story. When this was finished it was replaced by written diary told by  Mandy or Judy (alternating weeks). The Diaries of M&J was initially 2 pages, then got reduced to 1 page and then to half a page. While the Diaries of M&J was running, the comic also had a cartoon section that featured different 3 panel humour strips, which included an M&J strip occasionally.

Notes

  • Art: Guy Peeters
  • When Mandy & Judy launched it kept the full name until issue #74 when it shortened it to just  M&J. This series had already set the precedence as it followed the comics namesake and it went by the shorter M&J title from the beginning.
  • The subtitle “neighbours and friends” was added later.
