A Bed Called Fred (1969-1970)

Bunty, ,

Plot:

Under the terms of Uncle Hubert’s will, the relative who pushes his bed all the way from John O’Groats to Land’s End will receive his inheritance. His niece, Katie Fraser, takes the job on, but it has to be done manually (fortunately the bed has castors) because no removal firms are permitted. Along the way the bed acquires the name “Fred”, from the boards that get attached to it when a mechanic motorises it.

  • Artist: George Parlett

Appeared:

  • A Bed Called Fred – Bunty: #615 (Oct. 25 1969) – #640 (Apr. 18 1970)

Skinflint School

Judy, , , ,

Plot:

Life  is hard for Poppy Clark and her classmates at March Wind Boarding School. The school is run by an old miser, — Ebeneezer Scrape, who refuses to spend a penny more than he has to. Consequently, conditions are bad at “Skinflint School”—but Poppy is determined to change things for the better.  The school hockey team wins a magnificent cup, but, when this is presented to their miserly headmaster, he makes off with it and pops it into the nearest pawnshop. Poppy vows to get the cup bock and teach Scrape a lesson he’ll never forget !
