Towards the end of its time, Plus continued to offer young readers such pre-school strips as Wishy, Washy and Wig. The characters were created back in November 1974, and mainly used as visuals whilst teaching in schools. But it was in May 1975 that they moved in a new direction. A children's audio visual aid was produced along with at least eight original pieces of music, this written and produced by Stuart Medland. Medland himself would in later years go on to create children's books in the series, The Nogard.
During the 1980s, Wishy, Washy and Wig moved on to video and cable Tv, but it was whilst working on Plus that they remained as a cartoon strip.
Sadly, the comic was taken over by a company seriously lacking interest, the content was greatly reduced until finally coming to a close.
