Big Hat, Big Head, Nice Page
Lew Stringer has included in his latest post (focusing on the 1970 Christmas edition of TV Comic) a very nice Texas Ted page by Frank McDiarmid. I know very little about the strip, but from this example it seems that Ted is TV Comic's version of The Dandy's Desperate Dan.

Hi Niblet, Ted wasn't really TV Comic's version of Desperate Dan - that is, he wasn't supposed to be a strong man. He was a big head, always bragging that things were bigger in Texas, that a man has to think big - he always had to outdo everyone by going one bigger. So, in a way, he was more like TV Comic's version of Knockout/Whizzer and Chips's Beat Your Neighbour!
ReplyDeleteAh, I see - thanks for the info Raven.
DeleteAlthough it was previously posted here. I also have a page of Ted on my own blog back in 2011. http://comicsblog.brucelaing.id.au/texas-ted-from-tv-comic/
ReplyDeleteYes, I remembered your previous post Bruce but I was too lazy to search for it - thanks for providing the link!
