It’s free gift time again! Well, for me anyway as I’m the one getting my trotters on it. The Next Issue promo in #27 may not have given us any clues as to what that gift was but I can tell you it was the first of three sets of OiNK postcards. Not the cut-out kind we’ve seen before, these would be proper individual cardboard postcards ready to be written on and sent in the post. All three sets are brilliant and you’ll see the first, drawn by Jeremy Banx in the next review.

The theme for the issue is flying and the cover is a great spoof of Superman with a strip inside to match, both of which are very fondly remembered by this pig pal, so I’m looking forward to getting reacquainted with him. As well as high-flying humour, soaring sows and piggy pilots there’s a very unique page in the next issue. Remember Janice and John and the Parachute Jump from #7 and how it resulted in a couple of complaints to The Press Council? Well, after the council responded to say it wouldn’t be upholding the complaint the OiNK editors decided to respond in the pages of the comic itself!

So come back for the full review to find out all about that and more. It’ll be here from Monday 16th May 2022.
