Lazy
Bones

Benny
Bones was the laziest lad around. He was always
asleep or on the verge of falling asleep and simply
couldn't
be bothered to do anything at all. Turn your back
for a
second and he'd be off to La-La Land - out in the street,
in class, in the shops - anywhere at all.
Benny was a consistent annoyance to Mr and
Mrs Bones
who must surely have been tempted to just move
house
and leave the snoozing loser to his own devices.
Interesting how, in spite of Benny's constant lethargy,
no one ever diagnosed narcoplepsy or Yuppy Flu. He
wasn't lazy, darnit, he was ill!
Still, Lazy Bones seemed to be a popular Whiz-Kid.
He even
spawned a spin-off strip for his soggy moggy pal
Catnap -
conceived in a similar vein to Jim Davis' Garfield.
That's a panel
from his strip above. Below is a Lazy Bones sticker
presented
free with WhCh dated 14th November 1987 - in perfect
condition,
of course, because I was too lazy to stick it
anywhere.
Benny Bones was originally drawn by Colin Whittock.
When he got too lazy to continue the strip, Bob
Hill took
it on (just kidding!)....
