A treasure from the past. Print run was 2.5 years through 86-88.
Lying halfway between Buster and Viz, was Oink! A cheeky, pig-themed, politically aware comic, that generated some hilarous lampoons of other comic strips and media personalities.
Great writers, who came from, and went on to do some further outstanding works.
Favourite strip was New Wave Dave.
When I found out that Charlie Brooker had been a writer for Oink!, I thought, “that fits”. Newswipe seemed like a continuation of the early Oink! piss-take attitude.
