They used their crude stone tools to fashion rosters built around one-dimensional scorers and complementary oafs, they entrusted a generation of poker-faced retreads as stewards of team culture and leaders of men, and of course they failed, but they were at least failing honestly, because they authentically didn't know how to succeed.

A masterpiece of comic artistry, telling the story of the Buoyant Queen and its two-man crew, Enoch and Bert, a pair of oafs with a love/hate relationship (mostly hate!), it was perhaps too intelligent for its target audience – its disappearance was a great loss to the comic. Many readers failed to understand, amongst many things in the strip that went clear over their heads, that the two main characters were drawn in the likeness of comedians Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, and that the strip's humour was based on the movies of Laurel & Hardy. After only five months – foreshadowing many, many reshuffles to come – Smash! underwent its first major overhaul: from issue 20 the Batman newspaper strip took over the front cover, whilst Grimly Feendish lost the colour back cover to Reid's Queen of the Seas (which shrank from its original two pages each week to only a single page – the loss of the extra page was a drawback, but was compensated for by the strip now having a more prestigious location in the comic, and of course by now being in colour).
