During our toothy pal's appearances in the
first run of his eponymous strip in Whoopee! and Cheeky, he also turned up in 2 special features, the first of which I examined back in 2014. So if I may I'll direct you
here to read about the Cheeky Valentine Cards in the 14 February 1981 issue. 4 pages of that week's edition were devoted to the amatory tokens which meant that, along with the same issue's 4-page 'Cheeky' strip, readers were either subjected to, or enjoyed (depending on their disposition towards the jerseyed japester), 8 pages of grinning-gagster-related jocularity.
4 months after the Valentine's Day issue, Cheeky's Special Crossword made a one-off appearance. Although this was clearly a filler (featuring another use of what I refer to as the Standard Cheeky Face, an image etched into the memories of many of us due to its association with the disturbing '
left hand on right arm' outings of our toothy pal), a smattering of clues did relate to Cheek's universe.
