The Belles of St. Lemons was a British comic strip in the UK comic The Beano, first appearing in issue 1495,[2] although the characters themselves had first been introduced in the 1968 edition of The Beano Annual.[1] It was drawn by Gordon Bell and ran from 1971 to 1972.
The title of the series was both a play on the nursery rhyme "Oranges and Lemons" and Ronald Searle's Belles of St. Trinians cartoons.
