It’s the 75th anniversary of a man in Dundee called David Law creating the β€œworld’s wildest boy”, who lived in the pages of The Beano, and later that same year acquired a stripy jumper which he never again took off – and in 1968 got a dog as disciplined as its owner: Gnasher 🧡

I'm keen to give it a second chance, despite the setback πŸ‘πŸ»
