Cartoon Crazy

Throughout the 1920s The Bunny Boys got up to all sorts of mischief. In the strip on the right, one of them seems to have had an unfortunate encounter with a baby elephant!

A junior soldier called Bram first appeared in the 1950s and continued to feature (on and off) until the 1980s.

In the 1980s Bram was joined by Sally and Sam. In the 1960s a family of … well, erm … Jelly Babies began to appear in The Young Soldier.

Nineties kids were entertained by Frankie’s Friends.

The early 2000s saw the arrival of a talking cat from the New Testament!

And finally, regular readers will be familiar with Kiddo, his pals, and their love of sport and his mum’s cooking!

From early in its history, Kids Alive! (The Little Soldier and The Young Soldier) has used illustrations and cartoons to entertain readers. Here’s a selection of cartoon strips from the 1920s through till today.
