Paws

Paws
was a cheeky cartoon hound who would get involved
in various "crazy" antics with other pets
and humans. He
was always scheming some way of getting one up on a
neighbour, owner, vet, or another dog. But things usually
ended up going awry along the way...
To be honest, there was nothing particularly "crazy"
about
this pooch, but he proved popular with comic-buyers.
He was
present through-out Krazy's run, and for some
time after the
erger with Whizzer & Chips. He also made a
nifty duel
appearance in both titles' annuals for a while.
Later still,
the best Paws strips were reprinted in the pages
of Big Comic...
Now this fine Paws poster featured on the back
of the
first issue of Big Comic (11th June 1988).
The thumbnail
leads to a bigger scan. Big Comic was published fortnightly
and featured 52 pages of reprinted Fleetway strips
from
across the spectrum of titles...
And here's another little Paws gem I've unearthed
in Krazy #3.
It's a canine cameo drawn by Ian Knox in the Krazy
Gang's
pages. Rotten old Pongo
Snodgrass is in disguise outside
the gang's hut, but where exactly is he hiding?
Cue our canine pal, who trots in to frame one
and departs
in frame two, after depositing a wake-up call upon
our
foul fumer - Superb!
Paws was drawn by "Styx". And afterwards
came a
scraggy feline called Claws
and, indeed, a tattered old
crow called Caws! |
