Then I realised that the last time I 'read' Rupert, I couldn't read and my Dad had been making the stories up to suit himself.sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-69594623663054934592012-04-01T13:08:34.837+01:002012-04-01T13:08:34.837+01:00CRAFTY CAT CORNER In my wife's 1964 annual Rup...CRAFTY CAT CORNER In my wife's 1964 annual Rupert visits Pleasure Island which is inhabited by jolly "Coons" and that got past the censors too.

I wonder, age five. I find this rather annoying in 1961, and still do in 2012. As for Crafty Cat Corner's comment, in the 1950s "queer" means strange and ONLY strange. This present tense thing really IS annoying, isn't it?Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469075813149239051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-46344870577002168242012-03-31T22:37:57.936+01:002012-03-31T22:37:57.936+01:00but does anyone remember the weird creature Ragged...but does anyone remember the weird creature Raggedy?
