The Chicks’ Own and Bo-Peep

During its long run, The Chicks’ Own  incorporated a number of other comics including ‘Bo-Peep and Little Boy Blue’ which was a single title first published 19th October 1929. After its merger with The Chicks’ Own, it became simply The Chicks’ Own and Bo-Peep, losing the Little Boy Blue part of the title. The Chicks’ Own also incorporated Happy Days in 1939, and Bubbles in 1941.

The title eventually came to an end when it became the junior partner to Playhour on March 16th 1957.

The undoubted star of The Chicks’ Own was ‘Rupert the Chick’ who successfully transitioned to Playhour.
