Brought back lots of memories of the glory days of kids comics! Think I'll dig out those back issues now....

I only remember Oink! from a pull-out that came with Crash magazine (back when it was a nice 128 page Spectrum magazine rather than the 32 page pamphlet it became.)
A very bizarre issue - Frank Sidebottom (where is he now?) presented some type-in programs (all completely useless, natch)
There was also an Oink! spectrum game - You could control various characters from the comic each in their own subgame. Completing the subgame added another completed strip for Uncle Pigg's deadline.
Funnily enough there was also a Round The Bend game, also presented in a sort of 'complete the comic strip' gameplay.
They don't make 'em like they used to...
