Chalky is Top of the pops

Terry Bave actually created the character and drew the first ones.
Cor!! 24th July 1971.




Chalky was a very popular character and made it to number 1 in a poll.
It was a great concept drawing a picture which people think is real.
UPDATE Its by Dick Millington.






see what I mean...:)



Gordon Hill did a very lively Chalky..Gordon also drew the Krazy Gang. I will show more of Gordon's comic character work another time.
The cover of course was mostly starred Buster himself.

Reg Parlett said that Chalky was his favourite character...he said this in 1991 so theres a compliment.

Thought you would all like to see more Mighty Moth, Basil Brush and Moonbeans:) Quite simple fun characters But with a heart. I remember Baby Moonbean used to hide on one of the pages of the comic of Pippin, a kind of Wheres Wally. I remember it hid on The Amazing adventures of Morph page.
