Sunday Post

The Sunday Post, as the name implies, is a Sunday paper in tabloid format published by D C Thomson in Dundee and distributed throughout Scotland (although apparently it circulates quite widely in the North of England too). It was founded in 1914.

It’s most famous for two of its comic strips: “Oor Wullie” and “The Broons”. Private Eye used the latter as the basis for its comic strip lampooning Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his political allies, “The Broon-ites”.

Its content has something of an old-fashioned, dowdy feel to it, exemplified by its tagline, “A thoroughly decent read”. It’s not a challenging read; it was gently mocked in a song lumping it together with two other D C Thomson publications, The Dandy and The Beano comics.
