Redfyre Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/GLOOPS.jpg The Gloops Club was run by Aunt Edith and was launched on January 2, 1929. I was a member, apparently, but I don't know why, or what good it did. I was too young to know. I think the cartoon started about five or six months before the Gloops Club was launched, for, while looking through copies of "The Star" for May/June 1953, I came across a special feature on the 25th anniversary of Gloops, and it prompted me to wonder about the men who drew gloops.

dublugee Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Tailor-made reminders of Barney Goodman. Back in the early 1950s, a colleague of mine went to work in Manchester where he called in a tailor's shop in search of a new suit. The tailor unfurled his tape-measure, then ran his fingers along my friend's lapels. 'Hello,' he said. 'Looks as if old Barney's still up to his tricks!'

Redfyre Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Good story, Dublugee. But how about some tales of Uncle Timothy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterw Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 anyone old enough to remember GLOOPS ? i had my photo taken with him in the fifties, i think it was in the sheffield star,were you a gloops club member ? Yes, my friend. Gloops as a character did actually sell newspapers when I worked at The Star during the latter part of the second world war. During those war years The Star — then a good newspaper owned by Lord Kemsley — also sponsored The Sheffield Walk which took place either Easter or Whit; cannot recall which. But yes, Gloops was a good idea at the time. In can also recall visiting a cat show at Doncaster Race Course, either late 1960s or early 1970s, when someone dressed as Gloops was running around the place, still advertising The Sheffield Star.

Good Lord! From another SF member I, learn that in 1953 Gloops had a 25th anniversary. Today, he’d be only very slightly older than I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootrj Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Does anyone know when Gloops started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfyre Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 See thread 92. Gloops started in 1928. It was in 1953 that the cat cartoon celebrated its 25th anniversary. Sadly, Ken Sydney, who was the first man to draw Gloops, is now completely forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
