Spoofer

Spoofer prepares to talk a load of rubbish.

"Spoofer! Master of Kidology" (also known as "Spoofer McGraw") was a strip that ran in Sparky from 1968 to 1974, drawn by Gordon Bell. Its main character, the titular Spoofer would tell lengthy and completely fabricated anecdotes to answer questions sent in by readers: for example, when asked how Big Ben got its name, he claimed that London was built on the site of a farm while its owner was on holiay in Switzerland; the farmer returned with a cold and so mispronounced "pig pen" when angrily raving at the city's constructors. Spoofer's straight partner was Bo, a kid with a duffle coat and a massive head.
