Obviously being a big Muttley fan, my personal favourite was " Wacky rascists"

David Irving and Mosley aka Dick Dastardly and Muttley

Adolf Hitler and the Meinkampfer van

think Eugeune Terre Blanche was in there somewhere?



But was never a fan of Timmy Timpson a.k.a "Spoilt bastard" for similar reasons as Enfield's "Nice but dim "

GIRLS. Get those old 70s bell-bottoms from the wardrobe, cut the legs off and sew them back on upside down. They will then fit you once more.

FATTIES. Avoid your torso being surreptitiously filmed and used in a BBC News report about Britain's obesity problem by always wearing a T-shirt with 'All Newsreaders are C*nts' written on it.

Any one remember Bertie Blunt - His Parrot's a C*** ?

The Thieving Gypsy Bastards strip was inspired genius. I think they got into hot water over it and dropped the strip, as it was very close to the knuckle and deemed offensive.

Still funny as f@*k though!

Can't believe we've got this far and no-one has mentioned the Bottom Inspectors yet.

Inspired genius and a little bit creepy.

Baxter Basics

Didn't they get in trouble once with the Romany society for a strip called "The Thieving Gypsy B**tards" or something?

Used to go to the gosforth hotel in the late 70s when they would sell the first issues on the door. Wish I'd bought some, think they became worth a few quid

That was superb They tried doing a nice gypsy comic strip but it didn't work so they issued an apology. You can just feel the remorse:

The Drunken Bakers don't appear too often but always crack me up...

I'm pretty sure during the kafuffle around the whole thing the guy suing them from the Gypsy Council got caught handling stolen goods.

CYCLISTS: Avoid getting a sore behind by simply placing a naan bread over your saddle. This will comfort your ride and when you return home, hey presto! A warm snack.

MURDERERS. Need to dispose of a body? Simply parcel it up and post it to yourself via DHL. You will never see it again.

JEREMY BEADLE. When selling DVDs on your TV advert, hold the disks in your bigger hand so that they do not appear to be the size of laser disks.

Can highly recommend the book by editor Chris Donald about Viz - one of those books you can read in a day but it's genuinely funny and a great reminder of just how huge Viz was back then.

I only saw a couple of Vizs, but I remember a character who had piles and kept getting hit in the arse on the way to the chemist/doctors to get some pile ointment. Was he Nobby something? Anyway, made me laugh until I was almost sick.

The strip was called "Nobby's Piles" I think

TRICK the public that you've lost a dog by carrying an empty lead and a bag of sh*t

MAN-SIZE Kleenex can also be used for blowing your nose

TRICK people into thinking you're a time-traveller by buying clothes in Middlesbrough
