Fuss
Pot

Yeah,
wasn't she just? - Fuss Pot was the most stuck-up,
arrogant, irritating little minx ever to grace a comic
page.
She would prance about home and school with her
tight
collar and her pen-nib nose aloft, demanding the very best
of her parents, teachers and any other unfortunate souls
in her way. Oh yes, things had to be just-so for our
Miss Fussy. Fortunately, she would always get her
come-uppance by the end of the strip. But she was
never, ever, beaten severely with a hockey stick, like
she would have been in the real world...
Fuss Pot originally featured in Knockout, an Odhams
comic from the 60s which was bought out by Fleetway
and
relaunched in 1971. Its star strips were incorprated
into Whizzer & Chips when the titles merged in 1973.
For some strange reason, Fuss Pot was one of those
survivors.

Fuss Pot was brought to life by the great Norman Mansbridge,
who also gave us Wear
'Em Out Wilf and the ever-young
Mummy's Boy.
Incidentally, Fleetway continued to produce a regular
Knockout
annual into the 80s, and our favourite fussy boots
featured
in 'em all. She even starred on the cover of three
editions...
