Comic: Stage School

 

Stage School ran in Cheeky Weekly, a comic that was published from 1977 to 1980 before merging with Whoopee!

The basic idea was that the pupils were in a kind of “Fame” school where they were learning to be magicians, dancers, jugglers and such like.

In the middle of the chaos they caused was a typical schoolmaster who might have appeared in any other school comic strip of the time: complete with gown, mortarboard and, of course, swishy cane.

These examples are from 1979 and 1980. You can find more Cheeky Weekly comics on the British Comics Compilations website here.
