Come on, Steve! redux

I've covered 'Come on, Steve!' previously. It's one of my favourite strips, drawn by Roland Davies, who appeared in one of the videos I posted the other day.

I spotted the picture below in The Children's Newspaper dated 22 September 1956. The designer of the Morecambe illuminations was clearly also a fan.I believe the strip came to an end in around 1949, having run in the Sunday Express and, later, the Sunday Dispatch since 1932.
