Jonah (comics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jonah was a fictional character in a comic strip in the UK comic The Beano, drawn by Ken Reid. It first appeared in issue 817, dated 15 March 1958. The title character, a sailor, was feared by all other sailors due to the fact he would (accidentally) sink every ship he sailed on. It ran until issue 1090, dated 8 June 1963, when he unintentionally flooded Sludgeport Museum. Punch and Jimmy took over Jonah's page as from the following week.
Jonah returned 30 years later in 1993, albeit this time in The Dandy. Here he met the captain of the Ragworm's Revenge, Timmy Fogg (nicknamed 'Thick' Fogg), and obtained a magic earring, which if pulled he would become a monster-like man. The strip continued in The Dandy for a few years afterwards.
