The Belles of St. Lemons

Characters

The Belles were:

Curli - The one who had hair curlers in her hair, and was fond of knitting. She is revealed in the annuals to have a close friendship with Spotty of The Bash Street Kids.

Dizzi - The ugly one, similar to Plug of The Bash Street Kids.

Dozi - The sleepy one.

Dumpling - The fat one, similar to Fatty of The Bash Street Kids.

Kooki - The one who was fond of cooking.

Mina - Didn't speak much, but had a myna bird on her head that would do most of the talking for her.

Piggi - The one with lots of spots, similar to Spotty of The Bash Street Kids.

Poni - The one who had a pony.

Prune - The leader of the group, filling the role of Danny from The Bash Street Kids.

Swotti - The clever one - seemingly a mixture of Herbert and Cuthbert, two characters from The Bash Street Kids strips.

Blondie - The blonde one.

Suzie - One of the Belles, apparently an ordinary girl.

Puddy - A black, tomboy tabby-cat who serves as the school mascot. To an extent, she filled the role occupied by Winston in The Bash Street Kids strips.

Other characters featured in the strips included the rival St. Sniffles School (similar to Posh Street School, a rival of Bash Street School), and occasional cameos from The Bash Street Kids themselves.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

“The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

“Hemingway was a prisoner of his style. No one can talk like the characters in Hemingway except the characters in Hemingway. His style in the wildest sense finally killed him.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)

“For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
