Arsehole Kate – One-off parody of Keyhole Kate in which Kate instead likes to look up people's bottoms. Pete's Portable Prison – A one off strip about a boy called Pete Pentonville who owns a prison cell on wheels and attempts to stop the antics of the bully known as Sneaky Simpson. Ivan Jelical – an evangelistic fundamentalist Christian whose proselytising is spectacularly unsuccessful. He is only ever happy when he is God-bothering, "comforting" grieving widows with descriptions of their husbands' (supposed) sufferings in Hell and getting himself beaten up in the process. On one occasion, after failing to convert a single person all day he hung himself (though this did not stop him reappearing alive in a new strip a few months later). He (and his fellow evangelists) are often portrayed with "spinning" eyes, a display of their unawareness of the real world.

The Princess Who Would be King – a strip portraying Mervyn King as a fairytale princess who secretly wants to be the Governor of the Bank of England. Reverend Ramsden's Ringpiece Cathedral – A strip about a vicar who claims to have a church up his bottom. The humour was descended from the tradition of seaside postcards and that's a very, very essential part of British humour," he said.

Mike Smitt the Patronising Git – A strip about a man who goes around pestering everyone much to their annoyance. Gordon's Grandad – one-off strip about a boy who believes his perfectly ordinary grandfather has magical powers. The strip ends with the death of the grandfather, devastating Gordon who believes that Grandad was about to build him a time machine. By 1988 it was selling in the hundreds of thousands. The following year sales nudged one million, peaking in early 1991 at 1.1 million, just behind the Radio Times, TV Times and Reader's Digest. The brain-child of Chris Donald, who put the first edition together in 1979, with the help of his younger brother Simon, some friends and a Xerox machine. Mr Logic is probably the nicest recurring character in the whole strip, but he nevertheless gets beaten up frequently due to the way he talks.

Busted – who, until they disbanded in 2005, occasionally appeared in strips (as well as spoof interviews and other features in the magazine) portraying them as pyromaniacs/ arsonists who would set anything on fire "for a laugh". James Bourne would always be referred to by the wrong name, making fun of his status as the "least famous" of the group. Insane Clown Posse and the Church Jumble Sale Mystery – a strip in which Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope investigate theft at a church jumble sale. Raffles – in which the central is a 19th-century nobleman given to 'immense erudition and wanton violence'. Raffles inhabits the formal world of the Victorian/ Edwardian gentleman, but behaves as a 21st-century hooligan, though he always maintains his elegant style. The comic strip parodies British yob culture, placing Raffles in anachronistic modern situations which he usually employs extreme violence to resolve. Raffles is always accompanied by his loyal friend Bunny (Lord Bunniford) and has other acquaintances such as ' Dave, 6th Earl of Bermondsey' (a notorious section of South East London) and Clarence, 3rd Earl of Burberry (a reference to Burberry, stereotypically the fashion brand of choice for Britain's ' chavs').Raffles' character is a parody of E. W. Hornung's Raffles the Thief. The Raffles strip is noted for its substitution of formal language in common slang phrases. Raffles found himself in many situations featuring famous characters and events from the 19th century and early 20th century. Brian's Bannister – An early strip about a boy who owned a bannister who tries to take it to the local park, only to find out that bannisters are not allowed in public. From its humble inception as a photocopied rag with a print-run of 150, to a prime placing on the shelf of just about every newsagent in the country - it seemed like everyone was getting the joke.

The Scandi-Noir Adventures of ABBA - A strip about the members of ABBA investigating the disappearance of bookcases inside a branch of IKEA. They eventually discover that Björk is responsible because she is jealous that Iceland does not have a thriving furniture industry. Drake's Cake - He's Got a Cake For Heaven's Sake - A strip about Sir Francis Drake trying to protect a cake. Billy No-Mates – a miserable, asocial teenage boy who spends most of his time alone in his dark room playing video games. If anyone disturbs him he becomes extremely irritated. He also has an obsession with masturbating, collecting large numbers of pornographic magazines and calling sex hotlines.

Nash Gordon – a futuristic benefits cheat who eventually gets found out when he goes to the benefits office planet instead of a driving range as a result of a dodgy sat-nav.The Broon Windsors – a parody of the Royal Family in the style of The Broons and referring to Brown Windsor soup.

The one lady he finally got off with was Marjorie Wasp-Fanny, but ended up with a large bandage on his private area for obvious reasons. Saint Bernard Manning – A one off strip depicting comedian Bernard Manning as a dog who tells jokes instead of saving a mountain climber. Electric Space Copter Kid – A boy who thinks he is a superhero with an "electric space copter" that is actually just a space hopper. He accidentally stops a fleeing robber (who crashes his getaway vehicle, distracted by the space hopper) and wins an award from the police.Captain Oats – a one-off strip lampooning the real Antarctic explorer Captain Lawrence Oates. An explorer obsessed with pornography and masturbation, he is depicted skiing across the icy wastes, dragging a wardrobe on its own set of skis upon which is hidden his stash of pornographic magazines. However, his efforts to masturbate are continually frustrated by the presence of his companions. Eventually he gives his famous line "I'm just going outside, I might be some time', and ends up in the latrine with his fingers freezing off.
