Over at the Wacky Comics Blog, George has posted some examples of the vintage comic pages that featured in early issues of Cheeky Weekly. As this feature wasn't given a name when it appeared in the toothy funster's comic, I referred to it as the Old Comic feature when I did a post about it a couple of years ago. George has dubbed the series Cheeky's Classic Comics, which is actually a much better title.

This feature didn't have a title in Cheeky Weekly, so I refer to it as Old Comic.

Sounds like a Viz character

Often introduced with a caption that read 'ask your dad if he remembers this', the Old Comic feature presented vintage pages from the comics of yesteryear (i.e. reprints).  The source material was originally published between 1929 and 1969, with the majority of the selections coming from the 1950s.

Some of the choices of celebrity strips seem a bit obscure.  Late 70s kids would probably be aware of Reg Varney from repeats of On the Buses and his later TV work, and they'd know Norman Wisdom because his films were regularly on TV, but Frank Randle is a bit of an niche selection.

Certain strips would appear more than once, with Dodger Caine from Tiger emerging as the most frequently featured character with 3 reprints.
