Not entirely in the spirit of the festive truce, a Whizz-Kid versus Chip-ite rivalry is encouraged in the associated game...
Cheeky returns among the characters from the Chips section as they gather on the Shiner's Chip-ites letters page, where the Christmas armistice is clearly not being observed by a couple of readers who are keen to unload their best anti-Whizz-Kid funnies...

Finally, the Cheeky Annual 1983 is given a plug on page 31. The cover of the toothy funster's end-of-year publication is somewhat obscured on the back row of titles, but that rear rank includes two of IPC's flagship annuals, Whizzer and Chips and Buster, so I don't think Cheeky can complain too much about the placement of his book.
Merry Christmas, Niblet. :)
