Peter Gray's Terry Bave comic info
Characters-
Hello Peter Gray,
I viewed your web site and found it very interesting, and well laid out.
I've recieved his history section and have used it to update the website...found out that Terry's first work was Baby Whamster (Wham! 1967) and Baby Smasher (Smash 1967)and in 1970 he created Eager Beavers in Buster
By the way, Mike Lacey was one of my early influences way back in the sixties. I ghosted the 'Tiddlers'
in Wham! (1967).
I'll try and get some of 'my' history to you soon.
Cheers for now, keep up the good work!
Terry Bave
Whizzer and chips 1969 Number 1...karate kid..gingers tum..Aqua-lad ..etc.

I love Terry Bave's work.....His cats and dogs and other animals are brilliantly drawn...
My favourite characters of Terry Bave is the super Odd Ball...I love the way he only has one eye!! I love all Odd Balls bad jokes all done in a original way! Also I like the way Odd Ball who is a red ball.. changes into red objects But still able to fool people...
Toy boy had a real charm to it...he really loved those toys with a passion..the toys looked great fun...I would have loved to have some of those toys!!
Calculator Kid was great...check out Calculator Kids hair style...I always thought that was a hat!!
Recently after buying Whizzer and chips and Buster comics from the Late Eighties and early Nineties I have discovered these other super characters....
Double Trouble was wonderful about those troublesome twins..I bet Terry Bave must of known some twins for his clever observations.....Terry Bave sometimes drew himself in the strip so I think this is close to his heart...I wonder if his children are twins??
Mickey the mouth was super the way he could throw his voice to animals!
I like the pictures on the back of Buster after a reader writes in a idea for a crazy creation in the Imagine series....
Baby Herc in the Dandy is great fun..and a hair style to rival Calculator kid!!!
Terry Bave was working on Sammy Shrink in Smash! in the late 60's by I.P.C.... Fleetway from 1969 to the early 90's!!
Now works for D.C Thomson in the Dandy funsize

Toonhound is the inspiration behind this website...
and his latest the brill Baby Herc! (a very strong baby!)
I too have been brought up reading the likes of Whizzer and Chips, Buster and, my personal favourite, Whoopee!
All these great comics featured the work of Terry at one time or another and it was Terry's work that encouraged me to start cartooning.
My greatest success was having a cartoon strip printed in Zit Comic for adults (a less popular rival to Viz Comic) and my cult website. At least I think that's what readers call it.
I can see from your cartoons that you have been greatly influenced by Mr Bave too.
If you know of a contact email address for him, please let me know. If not, happy cartooning.
