Regarding Korky, I'm sure it must have been inspired by the same sources that inspired Kim Deitch, - Bosko cartoons etc. Same for Biffo the Bear, which was a strange strip for the UK as there aren't too many bears here! :) Yes, Judge Dredd and Andy Capp seem to be the only British characters to have made it across the Atlantic in a significant way.

He began in 1937 on the cover of The Dandy (the UK's - and the world's - longest running comic). The example above (which I drew) is from a few years ago, from one of the smaller "Fun-Size Dandy" comics. Korky the Cat predates the great Kim Deitch by quite a few years.
