Cartoon strip, newspaper late 70's early 80's....
Trying to remember the name of the cartoon strip that appeared in a Sunday newspaper or it's accompnying magazine.
It may have been the Telegraph.
IIRC it was on the last page and was formatted in 3 vertical blocks.
Can someone help me please, 'cos it's reeeeally bugging me.

I know!
I can see it in my head but can't translate it onto here!
The name was a one word name and I think it sounded Italian-ish.

It was a bit 'off the wall' type humour.
It was always just one character, doing something normal in the first picture frame, and by the 3rd frame it ended up something daft happening to him.
God, you lot are useless.........

Something daft is going to happen to you if you don't think of it SOON!

Just thought I'd let peeps know (here's me thinking anyone gives a ****e
)
Found it!
Just been painting an old dears kitchen and on top of one of the cupboards was a Sunday Telegraph supplement from 1981!
The cartoon strip at the back was ......
Mordillo.
That's the one
And also in the mag it had adverts for a BMW M535i for £14500, a Renault 14TS for £4000 and an MGB-GT for £6k.
Oh, how times have changed.
The official Mordillo website
