It was 45 years ago today...

Saturday October 11th 1969. The day that IPC launched their new humour weekly Whizzer and Chips. A clever '2-in-1' gimmick that paid off for the company and a fun comic that was enjoyed by a new generation of readers.

I don't have time to cover the anniversary today, but even if I did it would only reiterate what I posted five years ago celebrating its 40th. If you missed that post, or want to read it again, you'll find it here:

Whizz-Kid or Chip-Ite? I was neutral.
