Laser Eraser (Ernie)

Laser Eraser was a humour strip about Ernie, a kid who found a hand held laser device originally belonging to an alien called Splod, which could temporarily erase any object he zapped it with by (unknown to Ernie) transporting it to Splod's orbiting spacecraft; another function of the device would return the item. The strip, originally by Robert Nixon and later Rob Lee, ran in IPC's Jackpot title from #1 to its final issue (1979-1982), including a lengthy spell on the (colour) back cover. It later moved into the pages of Buster.
