Correct. Thought that would take longer.

Watching Sons of Anarchy on Netflix. Good soundtrack if anyone is interested.

Tom Sawyer or Worzel Gummidge? Although, I don't know if they were ever made into comics.

Batman's Aunt Harriet Cooper is correct.

On a similar theme

Back in the 1950's and 1960's there was a boys comic called Hurricane, can you guess the story titles from these.

Typhoon ***** - a super strong sailor type.
Skid **** - Racing Driver.
The ********** from Planet Z - Giant robot comes to Earth.
Hurry of the ******* - Roy of the Rovers rip off.

You can google this one if you need to

"Skid Mark - The Racing Driver" seems a tad too obvious, so I guess that would be right.

As for the others, I'd guess there'd be an alliteration with the last one, but I'd have no idea. And I really don't want to google them...

eisenberg1

I have a vague recollection of "Typhoon Thompson/Timson" something like that..

Rubecula

I will tell you one of them in order to stimulate the memories


Skid Solo.

Rubecula

another one?


Hurry of the Hammers

IrishZeus

Two more to go and then you can post a new question

Typhoon Tyson... just as a pure alliterative guess.

close

Typhoon Tracy

one more to get so whoever gets it can set the next question, use google although no idea if it is on there. I had every comic from issue 1 until it combined with Tiger Later they combined with the Eagle I think.

It measures the amount of ethanol in alcohol.

I accept that answer Corkgirl. It was the point of conversion from the old Proof spirit to the modern Alcohol by Volume (ABV).

Originally the test consisted of saturating a quantity of gunpowder with the beverage being tested. If it could burn then that was "proof" that it was excisable.
