Behind the scenes
The "new comic for girls" and "own magazine" of Lady Penelope both evidently referred to Lady Penelope, a sister publication to TV Century 21 which emerged around the time the Lady Penelope comic in the main magazine was replaced by a Thunderbirds comic as its TV counterpart began.
Although not as consistently pointed out in the magazine, Lady Penelope also framed itself, to a degree, as an in-universe magazine, with some features such as the Your Post, M'Lady series featuring characters directly referring to the magazine, with the first issue even featuring letters from the stars of Thunderbirds, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and Bewitched regarding the magazine's printing of stories featuring them.
