How Much: £6.00 (Tickets) , £4.00 (Concessions) , £0.00 (Children Free)

Viz magazine is literally one of the greatest things to have been invented ever! With the always entertaining letters pages, Top Tips, spoof adverts and, of course, a whole range of brilliant characters - from the long-running Roger Mellie, the Fat Slags and Sid the Sexist to one-offs like the Vibrating Bum-Faced Goats - Viz is the undisputed king of puerility.

Founded by Chris Donald in 1979 and initially run out of his Newcastle bedroom, Viz peaked in the 1980s, selling over 1 million copies of each issue. Today it's still as wonderful as ever and it's great to see the Cartoon Museum celebrating this inimitable institution in style.

Until 24.01.10.
