Oor Wullie Statue

Oor Wullie Statue
Oor Wullie (English: Our Willie) is a Scottish comic strip published in the D.C. Thomson newspaper The Sunday Post. It features a character called Wullie Russell. Wullie is the familiar Scots nickname for boys named William. His trademarks are spiky hair, dungarees and an upturned bucket, which he uses as a seat - most strips since early 1937 begin and end with a single panel of Wullie sitting on his bucket. The earliest strips, with little dialogue, ended with Wullie complaining ("I nivver get ony fun roond here!"). The artistic style settled down by 1940 and has changed little since. A frequent tagline reads, "Oor Wullie! Your Wullie! A'body's Wullie!" (Our Willie! Your Willie! Everybody's Willie!). Quoted from Wikipedia.

Looks a tad better than the bucket Wullies that have sprung up this year, Joe. ;-)

Yes, Amelia, this one looks a bit more like the classic Oor Wullie. Cheers, Joe

This is the only one that was left. All the others had been auctioned off. I hope they made some good monies for the charities.
