Nutty - Definition and Overview

Nutty was a British comic book launched on 16 February 1980.

It was published by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd and was an attempt to create a more lively and chaotic comic compared to many on sale at the time.

Strips included:

• Bananaman as its main strip and by far its most popular
• Peter Pest, a boy who constantly interrupted his sister's attempt to be alone with her boyfriends
• Jay R. Hood, a junior version of J.R. Ewing
• Cannonball Kid, similar to a Beano strip called Ball Boy
• Nip and Rrip, a boy with a violent cat which bore a remarkable similarity to Gnasher
• The Wild Rovers, a group of dogs who had comedy adventures
• Stevie Starr, a young TV star whom we saw making, or starring in, a different show each week
• Doodlebug, a slightly surreal tale of a hamster in a comic book world who could draw and remove things with a magic pencil
• Cuddles, a naughty baby
• The Snobbs and the Slobbs, a rich-family-versus-poor-family strip

It merged with The Dandy on 14 September 1985.
