Tracy Comic

[steve242526]

Can anyone remember any of the strips in this comic ? My sister used to buy it and I used to read some of the stories even though it was a girls comic ! I can remember one that may have been called My Friend Floppity about a girl and her rabbit and another story involving a girl who fell off a train platform and suddenly changed into some nasty bad tempered girl. Or I may be remembering this all wrong !

I vaguely remember the Tracy comic but not any specific stories from it, sorry.

Re: Tracy Comic

Lots of copies for sale on Ebay, but all just show the cover of the comic, every single one featured a blonde girl (Tracy I suppose) and a blue budgie.

Re: Tracy Comic

Do you remember stories called Angela, Cave Girl, Elton's Cousin Cuthbert ( the blue budgie), Sporty Sue and Swanky Frankie?

Re: Tracy Comic

I remember Tracy and her blue budgie. It joined up with Debbie comic eventually...(remember that one? She had long brown hair in a ponytail and she had a little sister Maisie). I don't think it ran for too many years. I can't remember any of the stories from it unfortunately. I think there used to be free gifts regularly enough with it.

Re: Tracy Comic

I used to love Tracy comic!! I began getting it soon after it started, and I got it till I was 18. (Yeah, my friends at school thought I was weird!) Had to get rid of most of them but I still have a couple.

I'm sure I still have the one with the opening part of "My Friend Flippety". He was a baby hare with a floppy ear, found and kept in secret by a girl called Debbie who lived with a ghastly aunt, uncle and cousins. I'll see if I can find it.

Re: Tracy Comic

Publishers DC Thomson had a strange fondness for girls comics which had actual girls names. Aside from Tracy (which actually had a quite respectable 277 issue run from October '79 to January '85), there was also Mandy, Judy, Debbie, Nikki...

I know this is an old post but here's a page of "My Friend Flippity" drawn by Andrew Wilson. It was reprinted in Judy with different title "Lonely"
