From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inspector Horse and Jocky was a comic strip in the UK comic The Beano, drawn by Terry Bave. Rather surreally, the main character was a horse who was also a plainclothes inspector, catching criminals and the like. His name is an obvious pun on Inspector Morse. Jocky was the name of his human sidekick, a boy jockey who would ride on Inspector Horse's back and help him out. As a 'Guest Star' in the comic, it first appeared in issue 2971, dated 26 June 1999, and ran until early 2000 alongside fellow Guest Stars Gordon Bennett, The Three Bears and Tricky Dicky. All four were in the running to be voted into The Beano by readers. In the end, however, The Three Bears won.
