The Bash Street Kids was
originally called 'When the Bell Rings' and was the brainchild of Leo
Baxendale. Baxendale later said "In fact, the
catalyst for my creation of Bash Street was a Giles cartoon of January
1953: kids pouring out of school, heads flying off and sundry mayhems.
Straight away, I pencilled a drawing of 'The Kids of Bash Street
School'.
The Bash Street Kids with Danny, Erbert, Fatty, Plug,
Smiffy, Spotty, Toots, Wilfrid, Cuthbert, Wayne were the bane of Teacher
and Mrs Teacher in Class 2B of Bash Street School. |
