Released in 1988, the OiNK Smokebuser Special was only available to school kids in the north of England. Fortunately, I got my trotters on it for the OiNK real time read through and reviewed it on the blog on this day in 2023: oink.blog/2023/01/18/o... 🚭🐽

Horace (Ugly Face) Watkins by the late (and very, very great) #TonyHusband was one of the most iconic characters from OiNK. Tony even updated us on his career and adult life over the years. Catch up with Horace in the latest blog post: oink.blog/2025/10/14/w...

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?: HORACE (UGLY FACE) WATKiNS Two years ago now we lost one of the greats. I don’t just mean one of the great OiNK cartoonists, or even one of the greatest humour cartoonists of all. I mean we also lost a great human being, OiN…

OiNK’s most endearing character became one of its most enduring thanks to his creator, the late Tony Husband. Catch up with Horace (Ugly Face) Watkins in his adult life with the latest post on the blog. 🐣🦢🐽

REMEMBERiNG FRANK SiDEBOTTOM On 21st June 2010 the sad news broke of the passing of musician, comedian, artist and comic cartoonist Chris Sievey, better known to the wider world as the papier-mâché headed Frank Sidebottom. Upo…

I can’t believe it’s been 15 years since we lost Chris Sievey aka #FrankSidebottom. The news of his passing had me digging out the few issues of #OiNKcomic I still had since childhood and started me down a whole new road in life! Here’s a quick look at some of the best work he produced for OiNK. 🐽

4 years ago today (already?!) the real time read through of the classic #OiNKcomic reached my favourite page in the comic’s entire run 🦈😂 written by Mark Rodgers and drawn by Ian Jackson. You can check out the issue’s full review at the link below. 🐽

The Oink parody of the famous five lives long in my heart. Esp the line "George didn't want to be thought of as a silly girl so she dressed up as a moose". She's Nimona pre Nimona. Only a moose instead of a shark. #KidLitUK #OinkComic

PORCiNE PROMOS: OiNK’S MERCH ADS Right from the off OiNK was different in every way, even with its fan club. Older readers of this blog will have had (or will have known someone who had) the famous Gnasher furry badge as a child f…

A furry badge with googly eyes was never going to cut it! From sweatshirts & mugs to bubblegum & records, OiNK merchandise was as unique as the comic. You can check out the entire range’s often hilarious adverts in my latest blog post up now. 👕☕️🎶🫧🪮🐽
