		Created and originally drawn by Leo Baxendale, she first appeared in issue 596, dated 19 December 1953.

		Prior to printing, Leo Baxendale's fl and white line drawings would be coloured in with red tones, before the accompanying text was put into speech bubbles.
		The aim of the UWE team is to reproduce digitally the coloured-in originals as faithfully as possible, while also retaining features such as fingerprint and gum marks from where the captions were added.

		Baxendale created The Bash Street Kids in The Beano and therefore came up with one of the most enduring ugly characters ever: Plug (see also Ken Reid below).
		These giants were the grandfathers of the kind of humour now taken for granted in titles such as Viz.
		Baxendale should be knighted, and the creations of all unsung comics creators here in the UK made assigned texts in schools.
