Editing Tim Traveller (section)

==Concept==

The first strip featured Tim looking for a [[bicycle]] in the town dump, and finding an unusual one. Pulling a dial at the front he was transported to [[caveman]] times, at which point he realised the bike could travel through time. He and [[Crazy for Daisy]] were the joint winners of the poll, beating [[Camp Cosmos]], [[Have a Go Jo]], [[Sydd]] and [[Trash Can Ally]]. It was drawn by [[Vic Neill]] until his death in 2000. However, Neill strips continued to run for some time in the comic as they had been stockpiled. Once these had run out, [[Keith Reynolds]] drew it up to 2004 when the strip was dropped. Only 5 strips appeared in the character's final twelve months in the comic. In the 2003 [[The Beano Annual|Beano annual]], his strip was drawn by [[Richard Elson]].

Tim Traveller would use his bicycle to travel back and forth in time, encountering all sorts of crazy mishaps, occasionally getting in so much trouble he had to rush back to the present day to avoid it. Some of his trips resulted in him causing or learning the truth about various historical mysteries, such as why the [[Leaning Tower of Pisa]] leaned (it fell over in an earthquake and Tim only managed to partly pull it back into position) or what happened to the crew of the ''[[Mary Celeste]]'' (Tim visited the ship and fell into a large fish, appearing to the crew as a sea monster, causing them to dive overboard).

The character was revived briefly in 2019 this time written by [[Tommy Donbavand]]. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://bearalley.blogspot.com/2019/05/tommy-donbavand-1968-2019.html|title=Tommy Donbavand (1968-2019)|date=16 May 2019 |access-date=2023-08-08}}</ref>
