'The Old Man in the Tram' and other Enid Blyton comic books for Weeties




Three in a large series of comic books that Weeties and Kornies included free in their cereal packets in Australia in the 1950s(?).

No doubt today these would encounter criticism from all quarters:
"The old man in the tram might be a pedophile"
"You can't refer to Africans as Golliwogs" "That pie is far too big, they will become obese"
"Fairyland sounds like a place for homosexuals"...
