The Crazy Characters series normally occupied the centre pages of Buster, and unlike any other strip, worked across the two, rather then down one and over to the next.
There were three regular episodes in this series. Captain Crucial, Lucy Lastic (both of whom graduated away from the crazy characters centre pages with their own strips) and Stupid Street.
Other Crazy Characters were semi-regular, or one offs. Below is a list according to my collection of the Crazy Characters and who drew them
