Rude of me
to ask, as I was a Topper boy myself, but I’m very keen to see some of Malcolm Judge’s earliest work on the Numskulls. This is for love, but also
possibly for research, as I am a philosopher with an interest in models of how
the mind works. Are there any sympathetic Beezer fans who would be willing
to email me photo files of any Numskulls strips from the 1960s, particularly
1962, 1963 or 1964? Anyone who assists me will receive acknowledgement
and thanks if any written work comes out of it,
Very many
thanks if you can in any way help,
The Numskulls, drawn by the
excellent Mal Judge ran from 17.03.1962 and I do actually have a Numskull strip
from the first year (18th August 1962). The layout of the strip is
most interesting; see the way it runs at right angle along the top and bottom
of the page around the Ginger strip.
If anyone out there has any more strips of the Numskulls that could be passed on to Sean please email Simon
