It was written by Jake Adams and drawn by Guy Peeters.<br /><br />A check of the couple of issues I have from the period shows all the elements you mention (clones, people trapped in crystals, etc), but it was long finished before Tammy ended.Marionettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985975073151200366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550174878667999212.post-60185438449815393082013-06-14T14:21:01.141+01:002013-06-14T14:21:01.141+01:00There was certainly strike action at the time, kil...There was certainly strike action at the time, killing off Scream the week after Tammy with the difference that 2 of its strips carried on in Eagle in September. Also, there was no 2000AD between the 7 July and 4 August issues. Tammy’s fate in Girl could be, and in my opinion is, explained by the trendy ‘overhaul’ Girl received around October. It was no doubt in the offing and anytime stories might’ve run for months. There’d certainly have been artwork around for at least a few post-23 June issues, and when that ran out it could’ve been drawn of course so no trouble there. Simply put, Tammy stories would probably have been in the way.<br /><br />So alas it seems that industrial action and bad timing did for Tammy. If you’d like me to look up anything at Colindale Newspaper Library I’ll be glad to.<br />STEPHEN ARCHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891283612737580789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550174878667999212.post-26090340110510096342012-12-09T18:30:24.496+00:002012-12-09T18:30:24.496+00:00Does anyone remember the story where the world is ...Does anyone remember the story where the world is taken over by clones and a little girl is the only one not cloned yet. Her family and everyone she knows is trapped in a crystal (individual ones) and she has to save them. I would love to know what happened. I was 10 when this episode so due to finish but I think it was caught up with the crossover.Pippyminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857848647796132278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550174878667999212.post-79014320667170531162012-10-09T08:10:38.334+01:002012-10-09T08:10:38.334+01:00I wonder what might have been if Tammy had been ca...I wonder what might have been if Tammy had been cancelled in August as originally planned - apart from Cora and all the other stories being completed. Would Tammy have been simply said goodbye with a final issue, as Bunty was, or would she have merged with Girl? The fact that her logo did appear on Girl suggeststs the latter. <br /><br />But if Tammy had merged with Girl, what would she have brought to Girl? I would say that Bella, Pam and the Button Box are the strongest candidates, plus any remaining serials that Tammy had to complete. Once those were gone, it would have been down to whatever regulars from Tammy had come over. Which wouldn't have been much in my opinion; Girl was a photo-comic, so the space for picture stories would have been extremely limited and the competition with Patty's World would have been fierce. So, a toss-up between Bella and Pam, perhaps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550174878667999212.post-54793342786201947622012-09-24T22:30:51.592+01:002012-09-24T22:30:51.592+01:00I don't think Cora would have died - I think i...I don't think Cora would have died - I think it was more likely she would have collapsed before the finishing line and the hospital saved her in the nick of time. That's if Tammy decided whether or not to let her win the Victory Cup first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550174878667999212.post-68457774645365708702012-09-24T08:34:03.410+01:002012-09-24T08:34:03.410+01:00I was really annoyed that Cora Can't Lose was ...I was really annoyed that Cora Can't Lose was left unfinished by the strike - that story really had me hooked and I was dying to see the last episode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550174878667999212.post-35352633222758408322012-09-22T12:04:32.555+01:002012-09-22T12:04:32.555+01:00Great to learn more about Tammy, it was before my ...Great to learn more about Tammy, it was before my time so never got to read it growing up. Actually the last issue came out a few days after I was born! Instead I had Bunty, Mandy and Judys to entertain me.<br /><br />I have recently picked up some old Misty issues too. There is some great stuff in these old comics and its great to see more blogs about girls comics too. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lorrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829925670620061457noreply@blogger.com
