Rockford and Thingie!

Post by Happy Hamster »

What is the name of the artist who drew those little pictures of Rockford, Thingie, Ken D Fish and the others? I was heartbroken when they disappeared after issue 50, what heck happened? :cry: There was also a charcter with a big nose, was he based on a game character? (like Rockford)

'twas Oli Frey that drew them (the same guy who did the covers and most (all?) of the other art work in the magazine).

I guess he got bored of doing them and when Zzap had a make over, they disappeared.

Gary Penn also did some of the border cartoons - It was mentioned in one of the RRAP! replies...

Oli did them at first, then Gary took over, and finally Markie did them.
