Writer:- The Hotspur editorial team. Artists:- Not known.

Main cast:- Scruffy and his family.

Scruffy is probably the character with the largest number of appearances in the picture Hotspur comic. I'm not sure if the character appeared previously in another D.C. Thomson publication. His adventures started in issue one and he was still appearing 500 issues later!

The following adventures of Scruffy are from issues 2, 10, 27, 59, 168, 324, 334, 370, 437 and a Scruffy's Puzzle Corner from issue 510.
