Little
Miss Muffit
No
tuffits or spiders here. This Miss Muffit was always
"muffing" things up, getting them wrong,
forgetting things,
getting in a muddle and getting herself thoroughly
back-to-front.
Her real name was Milly, but the "muffit"
tag was
added by her friends, parents and associates,
and she
frequently applied the term to herself as well. Indeed,
her
lack of confidence was quite alarming. She was
hesitant
about doing anything in case she messed it up,
and sadly,
she almost always did. But this was a Fleetway
strip so
her mistakes invariably lead to unforseen results
- many
of them rather positive...
Of course, modern readers would point to dyslexia,
dyspraxia
and lord-knows-what-other medical condition and
how this
really wasn't a laughing matter but - people -
this was a comic
strip, plain and simple.There was no subversive
message. No
"deeper" implication. Just a piece of
harmless fluffy fun...
Miss Muffit started her run in the first issue
of Whoopee!,
but I've yet to confirm an end date for the strip.
Sadly, the poor
lass muffed-up her annual appearances, only
appearing in the
first two editions... |
