Favourite Viz character?
 

Over the decades some have come and gone, but which one do you remember with most affection.

I'll start:

"Black Bag, the faithful Border Bin-liner"

What sort of twisted mind would come up with that idea as a 1950's Enid Blyton style pi$$-take? :cuckoo: :freak3: :wonder: :thumb:

Still makes me laugh just thinking about it now 25 years after I first read it. :lol1:

In particular when he came up with a gameshow that was basically Call My Bluff - but was called "Up your cnut" :D

Johnny Fartpants............has literally had me crying with laughter in the past.
I also liked Paul Wicker, the Tall Vicar, and I still like the Bacons, Sid the Sexist, Pathetic Sharks, and the Fat Slags.

Turbo2: Black Bag is actually a mickey take of a classic Dandy comic strip character, a faithful border collie called Black Bob, and his master, Andrew Glen. It's VERY clever, as is "Jack Black and his dog Silver".

They both remind me strongly of a comic strip I once saw in the student Art College weekly paper, "In College", when at Uni in Birmingham. It was entitled, "Rupert and the gypsy queen" and drawn EXACTLY like Rupert strips, complete with the rhyming couplets and a story underneath. You should have SEEN the size of Rupert's whanger :eek: and what he did with it to the gyspy queen:D

Topless Skateboard Nun

PS. Not as funny as it used to be :D

I've always had a good laugh at "The Modern Parents" :)

Spoilt ******* !

Rude Kid!

heres the full list

Used to love Viz in by late teens/early twenties - cant recall one character that stood out though

The Real Ale Tw@ts were a favourite of mine, mainly because we used to get some just like them in the pub I used to work at :lol:

I found a load of these books in the cellar when I had a clear out a few weeks ago. Hasten to add, not much more got done. We sat and read and laughed :lol1:

Buster Gonad, Sid the Sexist and Nobby's Piles were a few of my favourite howlers :thumb:

Pathetic Sharks for the sheer crapness. I also remember one called Mickey and his monkey sp*nk moped, or was I imagining that one?

Doh!! :)

My Wife bought me the latest Viz annual as a Christmas present last year, it's definitely a bit stale but still worth reading for Roger Mellie and Modern Parents.

Anyone know what happened to "Simon Salad Cream" or whatever he was called?

Only lasted a few months :(

Cant believe it's 25 years, scarey

Sid the sexist...
8 Ace....
Modern parents...
Raffles the gentleman thug


Oh man,i forgot about Finbar Saunders and his double entendres..

All class acts.

In fact the more you look through the list of characters the more you realise a lot of them were really good...

Only a few dudds out of all them aint a bad ratio!

Finbarr Sanders! ..and his double entendres :-)

From a fishing trip:

"Some women don't like to touch them when they've just come out, and are still all slippery."

Christ on a Bike tickled me (fnar, fnar) Cut and pasted from t'inmterweb:-

A comic strip published in issue 107 of Viz:

"Jesus Christ was the luckiest messiah in all bible times. For his father, a brilliant carpenter, had built him a fantastic wooden bicycle for Christmas."

With Mintsauce, his pet Holy Lamb of God by his side, he impressed the people of Jerusalem with miracles such as pulling a wheelie all the way down main street.

The bike angered Pontius Pilate, for all he had was a stupid girl's bike with no crossbar and, having heard stories of his rival's 4-speed Sturmey Archer gears and how he gives backies to lepers and fallen women, he orders the crucifixion of Jesus.

Arrested by the Praetorian Guard for reckless cycling and riding through the flowerbeds of Gethsemane, Jesus is taken to the place of crucifixion and nailed to the cross while Pilate looks on ("How do you like this kind of crossbar, Mr Jesus 'Fancy Bicycle' Christ?"). Suddenly, Mintsauce comes down the hill atop the bike and pulls it round in a skid, temporarily blinding the guards with gravel and allowing Jesus to escape with the standard kid's comic weak pun punchline: "Truly, it looks like Pilate is the one who is cross now - eh, Mintsauce?".

"See how the Master rides no-hands!"
"Truly he is the son of God."

my favourite was rock lobster.
Basically a geordie lobster who was "rock" hard :D used to shrug off all attempts to kill him or prepare him for consumption in any way, usually by offering out the person attempting to do so.:lol1:
astraboy.

biffa bacon :thumb:

Postman Plod - miserable b*st*rd

Morning postie......"F*ck Off"

Far from a full list. The first two I looked for (Robbing Thieving Gypsy B*stards & The Bottom Inspectors) were both absent.

I like Biffa Bacon, and Sid The Sexist.

Also Millie Tant

"Equal Rights For Ugly Wimmin!"

Never seen rock lobster but that definitely appeals. :thumb:

I was always a big fan of Paul Wicker the tall vicar
