Nutty

Nutty was a British comic that ran for 292 issues from 16 February 1980 to 14 September 1985, when it merged with The Dandy. Published by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd, it was an attempt to create a more lively and chaotic comic compared to many on sale at the time. Its strips included:

  • Bananaman as its main strip and by far its most popular. Drawn by John Geering, survived Dandy merger
  • Cannonball Kid, "He's Football Crazy", similar to a Beano strip called Ball Boy
