Luv Lisa has now been updated to include her last run.
PSL #399 was drawn by Ron Lumsden. I haven’t seen #374.
Thanks Goof, I don’t have a copy on hand right now, but if I’m remembering right both were drawn by same artist.
Would a full discussion on Luv Lisa be possible?
It could be, though the longer serials take a longer time to do! If you would like to tackle it I’d be happy to send you scans of stories that I have.
The brief five-episode series of text stories called ‘Luv, Jeff’ started as ‘Doggie Talk From Lisa Codd’s Loveable Pet’ in 1730 (March 9 1991) and ended in 1734 (April 6 1991) with the words “That’s all for just now. See you soon.”
Here is an update on Lorraine’s listing of the appearances of ‘Luv’ Lisa’.
a) The one starting in 1659 ended in 1688 (May 19 1990)
b)The one starting circa 1697 started in 1694 (June 30 1990)
c) The one starting 1794 ended in 1817 (November 7 1992)
d) The one starting in 1824 ended in 1839 (April 10 1993)
e) {one you missed, Lorraine} 1851 (July 3 1993) – 1876 (December 25 1993)
f) The one starting 1928 ends in 1945 (April 22 1995)
Perhaps now is the right time to state that this is my final post on this or any other platform until my third book ‘BUNTY AND HER SISTERS’ has been published, which is slated for some time in September 2021. So, as Lisa occasionaly said at the end of an episode, “See you soon!”
Thanks for the dates Derek. Best of luck with the writing look forward to reading it in September.
A rare moment of carelessness!! Sorry! The word ‘occasionaly [see above] should have been spelt ‘occasionally’. I’m now going to relax by sitting down in my comfortable armchair and reading a ‘Perry Mason’ novel from cover to cover. I’m genuinely tired so for now B&HS is on the back burner.
