Pippin (comics)

Pippin was a UK children's comic, published by Polystyle Publications between 1966 and 1986, featuring characters from British pre-school television programmes.

Regular stories in the 1960s and 1970s included The Pogles (whose Pippin character gave the comic its name), Bizzy Lizzy, Joe, The Woodentops, Andy Pandy, Bill and Ben, Camberwick Green, Trumpton, Chigley, Tich and Quackers, Toytown, Mary, Mungo and Midge, The Moonbeans, Tales of the Riverbank, The Herbs, Mr Benn, Teddy Edward, Barnaby the Bear, Ivor the Engine, Rubovia and Sooty and Sweep.

Towards the end of the Pippin's run, programmes featured in the comic included SuperTed, The Adventures of Portland Bill, Munch Bunch and Morph.

Hardback Pippin annuals were published between 1967 and 1986 (covering the years 1968 to 1987),[1] containing new stories and puzzles, as well as regular holiday specials.

Around 1983, a special winter holiday edition reprinted some old strips from the past 15 years ("ask your older brothers or sisters").
