Strange head shape

The original version of this character had an oddly shaped head, a bit like two rugby balls stuck together. Does anybody know why this was and should the detail be included in the article? PortholePete (talk) 11:10, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any source for this? I've just checked the 1977 annual, which would have been made roughly around the character's debut, and his head is normal (for a cartoon character) there Eopsid (talk) 21:18, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an example: http://www.greatnewsforallreaders.com/blog/2017/12/31/on-this-day-31-december-1977-the-beano

Thanks for the example, its the same design as the one in the annual I was looking at. It doesn't look "that odd" to me, well not for a cartoon character anyway. I dont really see the two rugby balls either. It might be worth adding to the article about how the character was redesigned by different artists though. I like the Keyhole Kate reference in your username. Eopsid (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
