OLD SUN STRIP

[Paul faplad Finch]

Please help. Was lying in the bath reading Nation tonight when out of the blue and for no reason I can fathom I had a sudden memory of an old 3 panel daily comic strip from my youth. I think it must have run in The Sun as that's the tripe my mother buys and it concerned a cop/PI/reporter/man on the street? who meets a baldheaded alien and they travel around solving crimes. The art could, I think, have been by John Burns or someone apeing his style.(Or I'm remembering wrong and talking out of my arse)

The thing is, I got all excited and tried to google the thing until I realised that I didn't have a clue what it was called.

Anyone?

[M.I.K.]

Can't remember the name but if it's the same thing I'm thinking of, I'm pretty sure the reporter/cop/whatever was a woman.

Yeah, you're right now I think about it. I also seem to remember some kind of MIB types and the alien wearing a dodgy wig disguise. You know, this is realy starting to bug me now.

There used to be a strip in the Sun that had something to do with military agents or MIB types and some psycic shenanigans called Psyclops or Psycops or something similar. That the one you meant? God knows when it started but it finished around 1999, 2000. Can't recall much else about it though, sorry.

[M.I.K.]

I think that might just be it.

[Paul faplad Finch]

Yep, I think that's the one. The name certainly rings a bell, even if the all knowing wikipedia doesn't want to recognise it, however I spell it.

I think I might have a few episodes of that in a scrapbook, I'll have a look tomorrow and scan them if so.

.

that was a headline in the SUN not a comic strip.

Come now. The Sun would never run that headline. Far too intellectual for their readers
