Cheeky Weekly Timeline

I've been thinking about providing an easier way for readers to navigate chronologically through Cheeky Weekly's history. Links to all my blog posts can be found at the bottom of the page, but I thought a more convenient solution might be to create this timeline.

Links to my issue summaries of all the issues of Cheeky Weekly are included, as well as mentions of significant events in Cheeky's history which occurred in other comics/media. I haven't yet completed work on the Whizzer and Chips era. I expect to update this timeline periodically until it is as complete as I can make it.

I have put a link to this post in the top section of the blog page so that it's easily accessible in the future.

Most recent update: 24 November 2020 - Added reference to the Cor!! Buster Bumper Fun Book published today.

Updated 12 November 2020: - I had listed Bam, Splat and Blooie and Cocky Doodle as making their debuts in the 29 October AND 31 December 1977 issues. 29 October is the correct date - have now amended the 31 December entry.
