Ken Dodd appeared in the sidelines of the strip featuring his puppet characters The Diddymen in the weekly TV Comic in the late 60s and early 70s. TV Comic also featured Dad's Army in strips drawn by Bill Titcombe, who also drew The Diddymen and who went on to draw Benny Hill's adventures in Look-In, while regulars in early issues of TV Comic, which began life in 1951 and kept going until 1984, were ITV's star comedian Dickie Henderson and childrens TV favourite Mr Pastry, while in the sixties there was a comic adaptation of the TV adaptation of the Goons, the Telegoons. TV Comic's best remembered strips include Mighty Moth and the original comic strip version of Doctor Who which began in 1964.
