More Bave in Double Trouble!


Looking through even more issues of Buster from 1990 and 1991, it looks like Terry Bave appeared in dozens of Double Trouble strips, often accompanied by his wife, Shelia! Above is one of the best examples, where Bave actually interacts with Suzy!


In this one Terry's wife Shelia appears in panel one in a picture frame in the
hairdressers window! Terry also appears - can you spot him?

Here are a few more random appearences from various issues from 1990 and 1991. There's loads more than this, so if you have any issues from that era, take a look to see if you can spot him!







You can see the first post of Terry Bave's appearence here!

I have an annual story featuring Double Trouble as well which also included Terry Bave! A lovely touch in my opinion! :D

i've read that Terry was told to it like Jack was doing in Vid Kid...

Can you find a Double Trouble strip without at least Terry?

George Shiers said...

@Harry - A nice touch wasn't it, it was sort of becoming his trademark in a way!

@Peter - I didn't even know Jack was told to appear in Vid Kid! An intresting thing to tell the artists though, do you know why they did it?

@Andy - There are lots of Double Trouble strips without Bave, take a look in Buster issue dated 12th January 1991!

jack came up with the idea of drawing himself in Vid Kid...Jack loved doing extra fun details...
In Vid kid he also did the deliberate mistake..
The Buster editor loved it so much he asked Terry Bave to do the same..
Terry wasn't so keen But did it all the same with his wife the writer of double Trouble..

A great idea from Jack - he did some great additional details in his comics - such as the "Abolish Tuesdays" sign!

And Terry also included the scriptwriter? I haven't spotted him, I'll go back through and thake a look (but I don't know what he looks like)!
