Note that both strips have Pansy kicking down the office door..and dropping a penny/sweet..

Its interesting the way the two stories are similar in the way they introduce Pansy Potter...


16th December 1989 by Barry Glennard
Pansy didn't wreck the Beano office the last time she was introduced..

Hugh McNeill's amazing adventure comic career!!
