Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Oddly, âThe Billikenâ is also the name of the final new character ever introduced by Charles Dickens. She was a landlady in THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD, which was published in 1870. She refused to advertise under a name that would reveal her status as a widowed woman- lest she be taken advantage of by the unscrupulous. So she is referred to in the book as âThe Billiken.â Coincidence???

I remember the Evening and Sunday Star very well. The comics were a sneaky way to form the habit of reading the newspaper every day.

The Billikin appears in the anime series âLocodolâ. Apparently âBilliken-samaâ became quite popular in Japan after WWII.
