I originally felt that there were no snails, celebrity or otherwise, in the W&C run of the Krazy Gang but I haven't scrutinised all the strips, and I see now what you mean - there may have been a story about the gang holding a snail race or somesuch so I may well be wrong. I like the idea of your Joker/Max mashup!Niblethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073399687897131919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214345292716209353.post-64700110671529105742020-01-14T18:18:42.870+00:002020-01-14T18:18:42.870+00:00You misconstrued.

I remember from schooldays creating collages of IPC characters using only scissors, A4 and Pritt Stick (might’ve been Copydex). When I literally cut and pasted Cheeky I used a picture of him and Snail from Whoopee or The Best of, knowing full well there wasn't one in the Krazy Gang to be had. Takes me back – pasting in Joker holding up his logo with his flat hand, except in my artistic endeavour it was Max’s screen from The Thirteenth Floor. Ah yes, jumpers for goalposts… STEPHEN ARCHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891283612737580789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214345292716209353.post-24286766696911956482020-01-14T16:51:25.447+00:002020-01-14T16:51:25.447+00:00No need to apologise.

Like yourself, I'm pretty sure there were no Snails (or indeed snails) in the Whizzer and Chips Krazy Gang run - there definitely weren't any in their Krazy strips.Niblethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073399687897131919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214345292716209353.post-35759113311204068822020-01-14T10:58:35.202+00:002020-01-14T10:58:35.202+00:00I daresay there were occasionally snails in the Kr...I daresay there were occasionally snails in the Krazy Gang, but I haven’t the time to check as it’d amount to well over nine years’ worth of strips, especially as I don’t believe Snail will be among them.
