The comic features rude and tasteless gags and characters like:

• Sid the Sexist - a young man with no sexual experience who boasts of his success with women
• Roger Mellie (the man on the telly) - a foul-mouthed and violent TV presenter
• Spoilt Bastard - a fat, ungrateful boy who manipulates his weak-willed mother
• Biffa Bacon - a boy and his family, all of whom are violent psychopaths
• The Fat Slags - two young women with huge appetites for sex and chips
• Johnny Fartpants - a boy endowed with extreme flatulence
• Norbert Colon - an old miser
• The Modern Parents - and their long-suffering children
• Mr Logic - ("such is my name, therefore one may infer that this strip is in some way about me") a serious young man with no sympathy for other humans
• Finbarr Saunders and his double entendres - a boy with a good ear for homophones (he's homophonic - Fnarr fnarr)
• Farmer Palmer - a paranoid farmer whose catch phrase is "Get orf moi laaaand!"
• Eight Ace - an alcoholic who drinks 'Ace' beer (eight cans for £1.49)
• Black Bag - a black bin liner which lives the exciting life of a sheepdog
• Mrs Grady the Old Lady - spends all her time exaggerating her age and complaining about the young people of today and how things were different in her day
• Billy the Fish - half man, half fish, he is a star footballer despite being drawn with no legs (he does apparently own a pair of football boots, but it is not clear why)

The comic was acquired by John Brown Publishing (JBP) in 1983. At one time the bi-monthly comic reached sales in excess of 1 million before entering into a steady decline since the mid 1990s to around 200,000 (2001). In June 2001 the comic was acquired as part of a £6.4 million deal by I Feel Good Holdings, a company belonging to the ex-Loaded editor James Brown.
