Comic Cuts

For the play, see Jack Shepherd (actor).

Comic Cuts was a British comic book. It was published from 1890 to 1953, and in its early days inspired other publishers to produce rival comics. During its lifetime, the comic merged with many others including Golden Penny (1928), Jolly Comic (1939) and Larks (1940). Comic Cuts finally disappeared in September 1953 when it was merged with Knockout.^[1]

The comic is mentioned in G. K. Chesterton's 1905 book Heretics ^[2], and in a line of Cyril Tawney's song Chicken on a Raft - "He's looking at me Comic Cuts again".
