Manhole Man returns to the front page for the 26th time, sharing this delightfully surreal cover image with our chirpy chum and a Caledonian choo-choo.
On the Sunday page, the vulture circling above
Jogging Jeremy puts me in mind of The Gobbles from The Beezer, and is
that Roger the Dodger's Joe the Crow flying alongside?

Our toothy pal's friends find that the museum
offers no refuge against his corny gags as Cheeky pays a visit on
Saturday. As has become the custom, the comic concludes with the back garden antics of Snail.
This issue features an all-Frank-McDiarmid Cheeky's Week, a month since the last one, with Frank this time delivering nine pages packed with striped-jerseyed jocularity.
