Comic: Ron Brown’s Schooldays

 

How many readers remember the British comic, Nutty? Not many I would guess. It ran for 292 issues from February 1980 to September 1985, when it merged with the more famous Dandy.

Nutty was apparently an attempt to create a livelier and more chaotic comic compared to many on sale at the time.

Here’s an example of one of the strips called Ron Brown’s Schooldays (no prizes for guessing how they came by that title).

It’s from 1984 when corporal punishment in English schools was on the way out – it was outlawed two years later, so there’s not much scope for cane wielding in the stories.

In this one, Ron has a bad school report so he throws it away. Unfortunately for him, his teacher finds it and takes it to his parents …

As published in Nutty, 22 September 1984.

More editions of Nutty are on the British Comics Compilations website.
