Leo Baxendale on the Bash Street Kids
July 1, 2009 in Comment
In an article for the Times, legendary Beano cartoonist Leo Baxendale recalls how in the space of seven months he created the classic strips Little Plum, Minnie the Minx and, most famously, the Bash Street Kids – and that a lot of the inspiration for the strips came from a regular game of office keepie-uppie.

For many years now when The Bash Street Kids first appeared
in 1954 and still going strong from the Beano Comics.
