Comic: Bash Street Kids 3

Before Harry Potter came along, Bash Street must have been the most famous school in childrens’ literature.

The Bash Street Kids started in the Beano comic in 1954 and is still going seven decades later. The strip follows the chaotic pupils of Class 2B – an exaggerated, affectionate parody of mid‑20th‑century British school life with the kids’ mischief satirizing school rules, authority, and childhood group dynamics. For decades it was frozen in time – the 1950s.

The class is taught by Teacher (that’s his name) who is a long‑suffering authority figure. The cane is much in evidence, but the stories are surreal and nobody really gets hurt.

Here are some examples. We already met the Bash Street Kids here.
