The twenty-ninth comic: #201 The Perishers

The Perishers is partially a British take on Peanuts, the well known newspaper comic. But while I say that, the similarities are vaguely in some characters, but beyond that is a newspaper comic with just kids, having their weird travels through life with a philosophical bent and so on.

For this we read some of the earlier comics, basically the start of the run, but while the later strips updated the references, the core seems to have stayed the same. And that suffers sometimes - three panels ending with a whimper, rather than a bang, as the funniest bit came earlier... or it's not that funny and you wonder what the point was. It's charming in places, but the jokes can get a bit repetitive and there series as a whole isn't as strong as it could continue to be.
