The Perishers was a long-running British newspaper comic strip, appearing in the Daily Mirror from about 1959 until its final cancellation in 2006. The strip was mostly written by Maurice Dodd, who also worked as an advertising copywriter. In actual fact, Dodd was neither the strip's creator, nor its original writer — the strip was jointly created by its original artist Dennis Collins, and the Daily Mirror's entertainments editor, while its first writer, Ben Witham got fired within weeks after the first few strips were regarded as dismally unfunny — but his name has always been the one most closely associated with the strip. Until 1983 it was drawn by Dennis Collins, in a highly detailed style which subsequent artists could never quite match. As of 2010 the Mirror is reprinting 1960s strips with Collins' art and new colouring, somewhat squashed to fit a modern comic page and containing some updates to topical material - e.g., Maisie's references to "That nice Mr. Wilson" are now directed to "That nice Mr. Cameron".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The strip features a group of urban schoolchildren and a dog. As such it is sometimes described as a British equivalent of Peanuts, although it has a very different art style and relies on quirkily British humour in the tradition of music hall and Spike Milligan (Charlie Brown and Snoopy were featured since the late 50s in the Daily Sketch and the Daily Mail since the 1970s).See also this website and The Other Wiki's Article. | |

| The Perishers (Comic Strip) / int_3cb6468e | comment |
Bad Liar: "Poor Girl", a kid who tries to plead poverty as an excuse for getting Wellington (who really is poor) to part with all his birthday presents. Never mind that she has a poor butler, maid, chauffeur etc. and wears a fur coat she got from the impoverished furriers. | |

Bait-and-Switch: In one 1960s strip Maisie found Wellington leaning against a wall, and assumed that as soon as she took his place the wall would fall on her. She did it anyway, "just to go along with the gag", and a lampppost fell on her instead. | |

| The Perishers (Comic Strip) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: One specific example discussed in the Boot-themed strip collection The Tale of a Tail is that, as Boot was identified as an Old English Sheepdog after originally being drawn with a tail, the art was carefully and gradually altered over time to reduce and then eliminate his tail. | |
