 But the strip did not prove popular, and quietly vanished in the reshuffles of 1970.In the light of how few strips of any sort survived from the Odhams era, and given that none of the superhero strips survived at all (which, according to the Letters pages, were the most popular feature of the "Power Comics"), it would be stretching the truth to say that "Smash" inherited the best of the Odhams strips.Stylistically, "The Swots and the Blots" was the most creative and sophisticated Odhams strip (save only "The Nervs"), and it did survive.
