Marine Boy

Can anyone remember this sat. morn. cartoon from the 70's.

Yep - with his "oxygum". It was actually a Japanese show, and as such made it one of the earliest examples of anime widely viewed in the UK.

AB Editor....what happened to the rest of my answer ?

Should have read

This is a bit sad I know...
but when me and my brother were kids we used to buy chewing gum that came in the form of small tablets and pretend that it was 'oxygum'. Many an hour was whiled away pretending that we were 'Marine Boy' !!

60's surely? It knocked Herge's Adventures of Tintin off the schedule, and I was really dischuffed!

I watched it somewhere between February 1971 and August 1972. I'm specific about the dates because I know which house I was living in. That's all I can remember about it, though. Of course, I was practically a babe in arms at the time....
