Full
O'Beans

Popeye
had his spinach. Bananaman had
his bananas.
Any ideas what Full O'Beans had to give him Special
Powers..?
Here's the lowdown. Normal Freddie was your average,
ho-hum, ordinary decent Fleetway lad living with his
Mum
and Dad. But when he -"Glock!" - guzzled
down a cold can
of his special beans, he became Full O'Beans Freddie
with
super-strength and speed and agility which he could
barely
contain. But somehow, like umpteen Fleetway stars before
him, things always seemed to come good in the end...

Actually, Freddie's powers came from "Ben's
Beans", a new
brand of tinned baked beans which he found at his local
corner
shop in Jackpot #1. Our Freddie was the very first
person to
buy a tin and, consequently, he won a prize: as many
tins
as he could carry. Clever Freddie used his new-found
powers
to scoop up every tin of "Ben's Beans" in
the store (which
also just happened to be every tin of Ben's Beans
in the world)
and he stored 'em in the attic of his parents
house - crafty, eh?
But the Big Questions remain:
Were these beans product tested before they were
put
on the market?
And what about a label warning of potential side-effects?
And how can that one store carry every single tin produced.
Surely there were more at a depot or on a production
line
somewhere?
And most importantly, why are we taking this strip
so seriously?
