The first Nibblers childrens stories, about a family of mice living in a grainstore, were written by Janet Easson of Dundee and broadcast as part of Children's Hour on the Scottish Home Service. The first story 'Dilly Dally and the Dutchess' was part of the opening broadcast from the new BBC Dundee Studio on August 27th 1949 and Janet Easson regularly broadcast her Nibblers short stories until 1965. The stories featured Mr Nibbler as a sort of hero figure who was able to rescue the Grainstore Mice from the clutches of McPouncer o' the Cats' Police Force on many occasions. Ruff, Tuff and Fluff were the Nibbler children and Sarah Squeaker their gossiping neighbour. There were many other intersting characters such as Freddie Frisker, Uncle Bouncer, Lord and Lady Longtail and Collie Bowf. Starting on February 13th 1956 Janet Easson teamed up with the artist Tom Kerr, also of Dundee, to publish The Nibblers as a comic strip in The Bulletin and Scots Pictorial a daily newspaper published in Glasgow. Publication continued until the Bulletin ceased publication in 1960.
