Who's your favourite out of Scotland's Happy Family, that make every family happy? Aye, it's braw, so it is.
If you don't know what i'm talking about, The Broons is a comic strip in The Sunday Post (published by the same braw company who makes The Beano and Dandy) about a squabbling family who live in No 10. Glebe Street, Auchenshoogle. The members of this family are Paw, Maw, Grandpaw, Hen, Joe, Maggie, Daphne, Horace, The Twins and The Bairn.

I never really had a favourite but I liked them better than Oor Wullie.

Th Viz spoof is one of the best things they've ever done, capturing the spirit of the strip to a tee, but still being 'Viz' like with the punchline.

Why do you think that? I'd say Wullie is more enjoyable to read but The Broons are funnier.

I think the larger main cast meant they were more re-readable than 'Oor Wullie'. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy Wullie, but the Broons shade it for me.

Wasnt she once engaged? Last Broons books I read seemed to indicate she was single.

I'd probably say Grandpa is my favourite, but liek with Wullie, I findi t best to read in small doses.
