The run ended with issue #204, dated 13 December 1969, after which the title joined with IPC Magazines' "Princess Tina" to become "Princess Tina and Penelope". (A number of City Magazines titles were acquired by, or merged with, IPC titles in the period 1967 to 1971.) This merger appears to have been arranged hastily and would have left some of the weekly comic strip serials unfinished, so the endings of these were included in the form of text stories in issue #204.
