The Sunday Post is a Scottish newspaper, (with a wide circulation in the North of England also ) published in Dundee by DC Thomson, and characterised by a 'folksy' mix of news, sentimental stories and short features. The paper was founded in 1914. 2007 has seen DC Thomson launch an advertising drive for The Sunday Post, primarily utilised on buses, in which the exclamation "Strip Sensation!" is seen by a picture of the folded paper displaying its masthead; next to this is the tagline punning on the exclamation: "A thoroughly decent read".
