Nutty 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 and survived
The Dandys eventual closure, moving to
The Beano. ▪
Big 'n Bud was a double-act style comic strip: they used make observations of various scenarios, and accordingly make jokes based upon what they observed. They were in the very first edition. ▪
Blubba and the Bear, an Eskimo in conflict with a polar bear trying to steal his fish, who later appeared in the Dandy as reprints from number 3408 but ended when the Dandy Xtreme started. ▪
Cannonball Kid, "He's Football Crazy", similar to a
Beano strip called Ball Boy, later reprinted as The Dandy's Owen Goal. ▪
Cuddles, a naughty baby. Drawn by Barrie Appleby and later moved to
Hoot before joining Dimples in The Dandy.
