Nan Dare – a strip in which Dan Dare is asked to take care of his senile grandmother for the day, but forced to bring her on an urgent mission into space to rescue an alien ambassador. The villain never shows up, as he has been delayed by his grandmother. Scum Mothers, Who'd 'Ave 'Em? – Occasional strip created by Barney Farmer and Lee Healey (also responsible for the Drunken Bakers, George Bestial, Hen Cabin and We...), in which a young middle-class couple are continually embarrassed by the husband's drunken, foul-mouthed mother and her various thuggish boyfriends. The title is a play on Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em but the roles from that iconic programme are reversed.
Guy's Pie - A strip about a person called Guy with a pie which gets stolen by Low Self Esteem Larson the neighbourhood bully, only to find out the pie maker put teeth in it. Norbert Colon – an old miser. In one strip, Colon shared top billing with hopeless ventriloquist Boswell Boyce ("he throws his voice") and wound up in a lunatic asylum; in another strip he went on a blind date only to find the dating agency had fixed him up with his own mother ("Oh turds! It's that tightwad son of mine!"), a dead ringer for Norbert only wearing a (clearly labelled) NHS wig. One strip featured a parody of A Christmas Carol involving his ancestor Ebenezer Colon, who is exactly like him; suggesting Norbert's miserly ways are hereditary. Percy Posh – Early strip featuring a boy bullied by Biffa Bacon. He seems to have been replaced by Cedric Soft in later strips.

Mr Logic is probably the nicest recurring character in the whole strip, but he nevertheless gets beaten up frequently due to the way he talks.
Comic historian Malcolm Phillips thinks it "touched a nerve". "The humour was descended from the tradition of seaside postcards and that's a very, very essential part of British humour," he said. Albert Gordon - Traffic Warden – A strip from the Big Hard Number Two annual about a corrupt traffic warden who assaults members of the public and gives them fines for the most extraordinary reasons. What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: Some critics praised The Bottom Inspectors for its supposed political satire. The creators said that the strip wasn't political, they just wanted to put as many euphemisms for "bottom" as they could in a single strip.Biscuits Alive! – some biscuits that mysteriously come to life to help their boy owner out of some trivial problem. Major Misunderstanding usually mistakes innocent occurrences for yet more moral degradation of modern society, which he then witheringly bemoans. One day, he finds several passers by attending a fallen memorial statue of a soldier. While one might expect the Major to denounce public drunkenness, he gruffly tells them to "leave the lad alone," and defends the right of war veterans to have a wee dram in aid to the trauma of battle. Mr Rudewords – a one-off strip about a man with coprolalia, who shouts allegedly rude words such as "toilet seats!" at socially inappropriate times. Students and wayward schoolboys lapped up the bizarre antics of characters such as Johnny Fartpants, Sid the Sexist, Roger Irrelevant, Mrs Brady - Old Lady, Spoilt Bastard, Farmer Palmer, Morris Day - Sexual Pervert, Those Pathetic Sharks, Big Vern and, perhaps the most famous of them all - the Fat Slags.
