UK old timers

there used to be a cartoon strip in the beano or the dandy or similar, based on a family of little guys that lived inside a man's body, operating his everyday functions, controlling him like a big machine from the brain/control room. they'd show a big cross section of the body and the little guys working in their different jobs/areas..

can any of you old buggers(like me) recall anything like this? would have been around '80-'84 ish. i'm trying to work out the comic and the strips name?

it looked like a more comic version of this but with more little guys and departments...

i remember it, it must have been beano cos i wasnt a dandy sort of guy. the name escapes me....

numskulls. the beezer.

good memory logan!

christ it looks a lot simpler than i remembered...

that strip was still going well into the 90's.

i'd given up on comics by then

I remember this from my Beano/Dandy days, which was probably 95ish

holy shit i remember this.

still got some memory matter upstairs, thank fuck.

i was a beano annual collector. my neighbour still got the weekly delivered well into his teens. free lollipop on the cover.

bully beef and chips. (the dandy characters that biffa bacon was based on.

Little Plum and The Three Bears are another couple of Beano characters. I never really read the Dandy as I joined the Beano Fanclub and my tiny child's mind thought that reading the Dandy might get me into trouble. I was a fairly stupid child.

Anyway, the best comic was blatantly Oink. Viz for kids, basically.

My mate used to bullshit me that he had the first Beano all the time. But I could never see it as it was always "In transit" or "In the loft and I dont know where it is".

Arsehole.

Viz

Even as a child.
