Buzz was a weekly tabloid-sized comic published by DC Thomson from 1973 to 1975. A strip entitled "Hop, Skip and Jock" served as the title feature. Elsewhere in the comic was a letters column hosted by a character named Postman Knox. Buzz eventually merged into The Topper.
Comic historian Graham Kibble-White has criticised Buzz for being a tad unoriginal, pointing to similarities between several of its strips and other DC Thomson features, as well as Hanna-Barbera cartoons.[1]
