The comics of my youth #3

This is a comic I read repeatedly as a youngster, when football was my main passion. It concerns a football team of youngsters called 'Barrabases,' and they wear the same strip as Chile. Unlike Chile, however, they win 100% of the time.

I thought that it had gone out of print for years, but apparently they have started to re-issue old copies, much to my delight.

These scans are from a strip about 'Palmatoria,' a Brazilian player who plays for Barrabases. The black player in the current Chile squad, Beasajour, has been nicknamed 'Palmatoria'. The last two scans are about lavatorial humour.
