It's Oor Wullie, not Our Willie (I was brought up reading this comic!)
Line 1: Line 1: −
'''Our Willie''' (Scottish: ''Oor Wullie'') is a long-running comic strip published in the Scottish family newspaper the [[Sunday Post]]. It charts the adventures of a small boy in small town Scotland (the fictional town of ''Auchenshoogle''), with his friends Soapy Souter, Fat Boab and Wee Eck. Other characters include the local policeman P.C. Murdoch, and Wullie's would-be girlfriend Primrose Patterson. Members of [[The Broons]] occasionally appear as minor characters. Wullie's favourite clothes are his dungarees, worn with tacketty (hobnail) boots, and he is often depicted sitting on an upturned bucket in the yard of his long-suffering parents' house, waiting for his favourite meal of mince and tatties (minced beef and potatoes) or eating a 'jeely piece' (jam sandwich). Much of the dialogue is conducted in [[Scots]], and his expostulations ('Help ma boab!' 'Crivvens!' and 'Jings!' have become indelibly associated with him)
