Old Comic

[selbybee]

I vaguely remember an old comic story about miniature people living in someone's body and controlling it with levers etc. I recall little men looking through the eyes with telescopes and the men in the stomach getting 'rained on' when the person had a drink. Can anyone remember this? Can anyone remember the name or any details? I suspect that over the yeras my imagination has embelished the original idea.

No it hasn;t embellished it - I remember it too. what comic and the name escapes me.

Having looked at the wikipedia link, it would seem it was The Beezer and The Beano. I used to love the numskulls. I vividly remember one episode when the character gets a fishbone stuck in his throat and so eats a piece of bread to clear it. One of the numskulls then fashions a ladder from the bread and climbs down the ladder to dislodge the bone. Great stuff!

Many thanks - just off to Wikipedia if the men in my brain allow!

I remember the numbskulls, though I thought they were in the Topper. Maybe wrong though.

Spookily, someone in Hollywood seems to have read some old Brit comics: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765476/
