Whizzer and Chips - The Cheeky Raids part 30

New readers start here... After Cheeky Weekly folded and was incorporated into Whoopee as of February 1980 six strips that had originated in the toothy funster's title survived the merge and continued to appear in the amalgamated comic. Whoopee itself foundered in March 1985 and was merged into Whizzer and Chips. Three of the surviving Cheeky Weekly strips successfully negotiated this second merge and went on to appear in the newly combined publication, rather inelegantly titled 'Whizzer and Chips now including Whoopee'. The survivors were Mustapha Million, Calculator Kid and (appearing only twice) Stage School. Cheeky continued to appear, but as a member of The Krazy Gang, who had moved into W&C when Krazy, the comic in which the Gang originated, expired in April 1978. However, the Krazy Gang's Whizzer and Chips run ended in the issue dated 08 February 1986. Calculator Kid survived a little longer, his run of reprints coming to an end in the 26 July 1986 edition and leaving Mustapha Million as the sole Cheeky Weekly survivor.


Just a week after suffering a raid by Toy Boy, Mustapha had his revenge. However, rather than a direct retaliation at the toy-loving tyke, our moneyed mate played a more subtle game and picked another strip from the fertile mind of Terry Bave, the stars of which didn’t smell a rat. This raid is not to be sneezed at - can you spot our ex-Cheeky Weekly chum?

This is an unusual raid as Mustapha's probing digit seems to influence development of the plot - normally the interloper is seen but has no effect on the events unfolding in the strip.

More raiding fun soon!
