Last time I looked at GM, about 30 years ago, Minnie Peters always kept her hands primly inside her muff, as if to emphasise her family’s gentility.Look at an old strip and you’ll see.
I was having a joke with you.Minnie hasn’t worn her muff in many years as girls don’t tend to walk around with them any more. They’re very much something used yesteryear, in mainly cold seasons.Glad you’re still reading Meggs after all these years!Thanks for reading.
G’day Jason, JFri, Us Fellers, ottod and Meggsiefan!
David & Jason thanks for the memory! When I was a little girl back in the early 60’s, I had one of those muffs. I loved it! I felt ever so important and so “grown up” when I wore it, usually for church on winter Sundays!
Dry, I’m amazed that any little girl in Australia ever wore a muff. I thought the Peters family were just being pretentious.There was a real class-consciousness in the comic in those days.
By the way: I write literacy exercises, and I’ve just started work on one on Australia’s national comic and finding it difficult to get much material. I’ll send the finished product to Jason.
What a tragedy was Tiger Kelly – trapped in an unescapable limbo between adulthood and adolescence.
PS Sorry to be hogging his noticeboard, but I recently learned that Jason’s precessor James Kemsley was also famous for being “Skeeter the Paperboy” on TV in the late 70’s.

Muff: A piece of fur or cloth, usually with open ends, used for keeping the hands warm.
