Funtastic Journey

Funtastic Journey was a comic strip that started in Jackpot from the first issue dated 5 May 1979 ^[1] The artist throughout the comic strip was Ian Knox.

On their planet everyone lives in shoes and boots. A parody of 'The Old Lady who lived in a shoe'. People even ate soles of shoes for food (boiled boot, fried boot, stewed boot or curried boot, with only slippers for a change). Instead of TV they had bootivision, but only in Black and Brown. Gavin & Terry are tired of this boredom and the terrible taste of boots, they visit and later join Professor Shoe, who has built a special helicopter-boot 'Welly Copter' to travel to distant lands and adventures.

On their first trip, in issue 1, they visit a land where everyone lives in socks and even eats socks. Later trips to a land they find everything is floating, even the food. On another journey they find all the houses and buildings made of food.

Other trips include to a land where they find everyone uses magic. On another they are one inches tall.
