    Oh, never saw it in any papers growing up here.

    Did see lots of that bored teen dude comic though.

      I don’t remember if my parents got the Sun-Herald or the Sunday Telegraph. But the middle section was a liftout with cartoons, puzzles, kids stuff.

      There were three comics that were always there: Calvin and Hobbes, Flash Gordon, Wizard of Id. At some point they introduced Cathy which was a bit lame.

      It also had the crossword, a quiz, and usually some “learn to draw” or arts and crafts suggestions. For a while there was a little section with people selling Sega games, it didn’t last long but that’s how I got my copy of Double Dragon 3.

      Very rarely the local shop ran out and dad had to get the competing paper. It would instead have The Phantom and Garfield. Always disappointing if it happened.
