Attached is the comic strip Enquiry Unlimited from the TV Express Annual 1962 (London: TV Publications, 1961), with art by Cecil Orr. It's a rather charming skim through the realms of Forteana, with some interesting conclusions. A bit of research has revealed that Enquiry Unlimited was an actual TV series, which ran for a couple of series between July 1960 and April 1961, where children's questions were answered with the aid of guest experts. Interesting that the strip in the annual opts for "the world's great mysteries and legends". Makes me wonder what other Fortean features could be lurking in children's annuals. I'm sure I have an old Eagle annual with a piece about UFOs. By the way, Howard Williams from the Enquiry Unlimited strip apparently later went on to partner British TV's anthropomorphic superstar, Basil Brush! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the strip.
Hope you're well, and best wishes to all at the CFZ.
As Redvers and Howard say at the end of the strip:
Cheerio!
