This week’s #Beano celebrates 70 years of #TheBashStreetKids, originally created by #LeoBaxendale as When The Bell Rings.
From 13 February 1954, the first, joyously-detailed strip by Leo (a committed leftist) is below, full of violence, anarchy, mischief and a squad of policemen about to break up the fun. Only Danny in his skull jumper and Toots are recognisable from the later regulars.
David Sutherland, however, is the strip’s main artist, having drawn it from 1962 to his death in 2023.
