"Great News Chums!" was the dreaded phrase that met British comic fans in the 1970's when they opened up their favourite weekly only to find that from next week, it would be merging with a crap publication you never bought. I can't guarantee that we won't merge this blog with one on, say, Taiwanese politics. But for now, enjoy a trip into pre-1985 graphic goodness.

Monsieur Le Stud

The young people today might think they're 'all that' with their Lynx body sprays, but back in 1978, there was only one scent to use if you wanted to impress the ladies - and no, it wasn't Brut, Hi Karate, Denim or even Old Spice. No, if you wanted to make damn sure you never went home alone - ever - then you'd splash on Monsieur Le Stud.


Brought out to coincide with the year's most sophisticated film, Monsieur Le Stud mixed the legendary powers of musk and ginseng, and was just the thing before heading for a night out at the local discotheque and dancing to the latest hits from Tina Charles, Leo Sayer and Smokie - that is, of course, if you could fend off the ladies! Or, you could stay at home and listen to The Stud's soundtrack LP on Ronco - where this enticing ad could be found.
Sadly, Monsieur Le Stud is no longer on sale. If anyone out there has any, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. After all, as the ad says, 'wearing Monsieur Le Stud can be very demanding'. And I'm happy to make your life that little bit easier.
