 The run ended with issue 204, dated 13 December 1969, after which the title joined with "Princess Tina".This merge appears to have been arranged hastily and would have left some of the weekly comic strip serials unfinished, so the endings of these were included in the form of text stories in issue 204.Despite the combined title, only one comic serial from "Penelope" survived the merge, albeit with the format and main character's name altered.
