Follyfoot was a childrens' television series aired between 1971-1973. It was inspired by Monica Dickens' novel "Cobblers' Dream". Aimed at the teenage girls market it ended up with a lot of adult fans, due to its depictions of terrible treatment of animals. The show had many messages, an absurdly awesome theme tune and sold well overseas. Many books and annuals followed. As usual...Look-in did the comics. These were beautifully drawn by Mike Noble,who left the Time Slip strip to work on this. Angus Allan is the brilliant story teller.

Slightly off topic but .... Is it just me or did The Beano become crass and The Dandy stay a decent read??? I'm no expert whatsoever on these two publications but bought both as a youngster and as an old git in the last decade have had a few Dandy annuals and a few Beano comics.... The Beano isn't as I remember it and I find it rather off putting these days whereas The Dandy was still excellent. Just an opinion.
