I had a look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_comics and have to say, practically nothing looks familiar. Even the Sonic comic looks kinda off.

Guess I'm going to be an observer the rest of the game. Good luck.

Nothing looks familiar? Seriously?

As much as I'd love for it to be Dan Dare, I'm going to demand justice and guess at Judge Dread.

If it turns out to be someone from Viz Jamie deserves an extra 100 points

Interesting list, with some surprises. Egocentric as I am... i considered suggesting Dennis the Menace. I had no idea it was Brit, or is it just a similar title to an American super villain? At any rate author if the murican form, Hank Ketchums, is from my home town...

But my guess is Andy Capp.

Whilst the British Dennis the Menace is clearly better than the weird American child, I don't think I will be expelled from the Dennis the Menace fan club for saying Rodger the Dodger was clearly the best character... and an example to Diplomacy players everywhere

maybe I've overlooked something in haste, but as I grew up in the countryside near Vienna and TV/Internet were mostly centered on german or US things, and then I had a japanese phase, I'm mostly unfamiliar with what I've seen on that page (well save the Sonic and Star Wars entry but I believe both didn't origin in GB ...).

The spelling is incorrect but I assume that's an autocorrect issue.

JUDGE DREDD is the right answer, creeps!

OCTAVIOUS is the winner!

It's a 6 month stretch in the Iso-Cubes for the rest of you degenerate perps.
