Hoot was a weekly comic published by DC Thomson from 1985 to 1986. Its masthead actually read It's a Hoot, but nobody refers to it as such.
Its cover star was Cuddles, a character from the recently-deceased Nutty[1] (which is a bit odd, since Nutty had previously merged into The Dandy, taking "Bananaman" with it).
Amongst Hoot's offerings were three-to-four-panel gag strips featuring character from other DC Thomson comics.[2]
Hoot eventually merged into The Dandy.
Strips included...
- "The Bash Street Kids" (gag strip)
- "Colonel Blink" (gag strip)
- "Cuddles"
- "Dogsbody"
- "Jay R" (gag strip)
- "Lord Snooty" (gag strip)
- "Piggles"
- "Polar Blair"
- "Sam's Secret Diary"
- "Snackula"
- "The Three Bears" (gag strip)
- "Wanta Job Bob"
