”Danny's transphobic, a long-running strip which originated in DC Thomson's Topper in 1973 and ran until 1986, was the story of Danny Wilson, a schoolboy who owned a special transistor radio which could emit a beam of light which, depending on which button he pressed, could make things invisible (VHF), make them shrink (SW) or grow (LW), or even make them lighter than air (MW)! History does not, however, record whether or not it could actually pick up Radio 1. One suspects not, making it fairly useless as a radio. The art was by Ken Hunter.

I want to say "Great minds think alike" but the second half of that is "fools seldom differ" which is plainly not true on ROF !

I have about 300 beans in a box from most of the 80s (including the six week saga when gnasher went awol).

There is the occasional dandy in the collection, as well as a Topper (they can’t have been in print for 35 years)

“The Topper was a UK comic published by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd that ran from 7 February 1953 to 15 September 1990, when it merged with The Beezer.
A strip named "Mickey the Monkey" originally appeared on the front cover. In 1973, it was replaced by "Send for Kelly", by "Danny's transphobic" in 1975”
Heh, probably for the best, I don’t think that front cover would have aged well

Fun times.
