My favourite comic character was "Roger the Dodger".

Billys Boots was in Scorcher but my memory of it was in Tiger which then became the Eagle comic with Dan Dare and the evil Mekon!!!!  He also appeared in Roy of the Rovers after that!!!

Were those others before or after Scorcher? If I remember rightly, Tiger came out a long time before scorcher.

I don't know when Scorcher was abouit but I read Tiger back in the early 80's.

I'd say Scorcher came out in the late sixties.

Yis ever heard of google?

Billy's Boots was a popular British comic strip by writer Fred Baker and artist John Gillatt, later continued by Mike Western. There was an earlier, humour series called Billy's Boots, written and drawn by Frank Purcell, which appeared in Tiger between 1961 and 1963, with a similar premise to this later series. The later more serous Billy appeared in the first issue of Scorcher in 1970, and later moved to Tiger when the two comics merged in 1974. In 1985 Tiger in turn merged with Eagle and the strip moved again, however just a year later Billy's adventures relocated once more, this time to Roy of the Rovers. New adventures were included in the weekly comic until May 1990 (later followed by reprints), before he switched to Best of Roy of the Rovers Monthly.

My 6 year old girl loves playing with dollies and ponies and dressing up.

Great to see her taking after her daddy.

Cows and bulls mating in the fields. I used to be enthralled by this. Last week on day I stood for 4-5 hours at a field with a bull and cows in it and nothing happened. The apathy was astonishing. I wonder has the modern lifestyle caused this with automatic milking machines and no use for the yokes oxen used to pull. There's no frustration any more which is the only reason for sexual engagement in any species
