Frank McDiarmid's Mustapha Million

I'd completely forgotten that Frank McDiarmid took over the art on Mustapha Million some years after young Master Million's debut in Cheeky Weekly, and indeed more than a few years after the demise of the toothy funster's comic.  If I could summon the energy to wade through my Whizzer and Chips collection I could find the exact dates. Thanks to Bruce for posting this example, which dates from 10 years after the middle-eastern moneybags' debut. It's quite a departure from Frank's Cheeky style. Nice, though.

The features - Ghouldilocks

As Cheeky Weekly approached its first anniversary, three single-appearance (as far as the toothy funster's comic was concerned) filler features, sourced from earlier IPC/Fleetway titles, turned up in the comic's pages.  The first of these was Hickory Dickory Doc (Cheeky Weekly 16 September 1978), a reprint from Cor!! which, on its original appearance in that earlier comic, was one of a number of tryout strips vying for the votes of Cor!! readers (see Peter Gray's blog for more info).  As Hickory Dickory Doc didn't win, I'd guess that it didn't return to the pages of Cor!! so there was no prospect of any further instalments after its single outing in Cheeky Weekly.

The second one-off reprint came in the form of a single Sonny Storm tale (Cheeky Weekly 23 September 1978), plucked from the original run of Sonny Storm strips that also had appeared in Cor!!

At the time the third and final one-off reprint appeared in Cheeky Weekly, other reprints had appeared, some were still appearing, and more would be introduced in later issues but all, other than the three mentioned, appeared more than once.

For the final one-off reprint in the issue dated 14 October 1978, a feature punningly called Ghouldilocks and drawn by Stan McMurtry (thanks to Lew Stringer for the artist id) had been plucked from the vaults of Fleetway's Jag.

As we already know, thanks to the sterling work of klakadak-ploobadoof (see here), this particular Ghouldilocks episode had originally appeared in Jag dated 23 November 1968 making it, if my maths is right, the 6th episode of its original run.  Despite this character being new to most, if not all, Cheeky Weekly readers, no background was given to the single reprint in the toothy funster's comic, so readers were left to work out for themselves what was going on.  Ghouldilocks explains in the strip that she's a ghost, so it's fairly self-explanatory, but one wonders why the first Ghouldilocks tale, which presumably came with some sort of explanation of the set-up, wasn't chosen.  Maybe it was felt that going through an explanation wasn't necessary since the strip would not return, or maybe the strip had an ending which hinted at future episodes (which introductory strips often had).

Cheeky Weekly cover date 14 October 1978

Cheeky Weekly completes its first year of publication with this 52nd issue.  There are amnesiac animal antics on the cover, as Elephant continues to evade his plastic-clad pursuer in a blown-up panel from last week's Elephant on the Run episode.  Below that, Bubblegum Boy is back on the front cover for the first time since the 13 May 1978 issue, still stranded in the sky above Krazy Town while, far below, the toothy funster engages in daft, door-derived drollery.

On Tuesday our favourite merry mollusc gets all love-struck as he meets a glamorous gastropod, and we observe a rare occurrence of Cheeky acknowledging the existence of his slithering sidekick.

Our shell-dwelling chum also makes a cameo appearance in this week's Skateboard Squad strip.

This week's cover star uses a false moustache and bowler hat to evade capture by The Man In The Plastic Mac at the start of the latest instalment of Elephant On The Run.  The peripatetic pachyderm then finds himself employed in the grappling game as a masked wrestler.  Our jumbo hero is dismayed when he spots TMITPM among the audience as his first bout commences, and the situation deteriorates rapidly when Elephant is unmasked by his opponent.  In the punch-up that ensues, TMITPM gets entangled in the ropes and our large-eared hero makes good his escape, concluding an agreeably daft episode.


Mike Lacey delivers a cracking Disaster Des page, packed with great gags.

In a rather over-familiar script idea, Calculator Kid, with the help of his electronic pal, unmasks a burly, female-impersonating jewel thief, just as a policeman happens to be passing, in his story this week.

Rounding off the comic is the back cover's Cheeky's Pal puzzle, this week a knitting-based poser featuring Granny Gumdrop.

Robert Nixon draws the main cover feature this week (albeit in a panel lifted from last week's comic), the only time his art would appear on a Cheeky Weekly cover.

One year in, and already the comic seems to be relying rather a lot on one-off fillers.  Like the Hickory Dickory Doc and Sonny Storm reprints, used in the 16 September 1978 and 23 September 1978 issues respectively, this week's Ghouldilocks feature (a reprint from Jag - see below) will not return.  Thanks to Lew Stringer who, on the Comics UK forum, identified the artist on this strip as Stan McMurtry.

Also on the forum, klakadak-ploobadoof was able to clarify where this strip had originally appeared;

"I looked through my collection and notes and this is what I can say regarding Ghouldilocks: there were two series, both drawn by the same artist. The first series had a short run in Jag and lasted only 18 weeks from October 19th, 1968 until the last tabloid-sized Jag dated Feb. 15th, 1969. The second series in Shiver and Shake began in issue No. 22 (August 4th, 1973) and enjoyed a considerably longer run of 44 episodes, ending in issue 67 (June 15th, 1974) (there was no Ghouldilocks in Shiver and Shake issue 54 dated March 16th, 1974). I was surprised to discover that only 5 of the original Jag episodes were reprinted in the second series.

Niblet, the episode [printed in Cheeky Weekly] is a reprint from Jag dated 23rd November, 1968, and it wasn‘t one of the reprints that appeared in Shiver & Shake."

Many thanks to klakadak-ploobadoof for this excellent piece of research.

All 10 Cheeky's Week strips this week feature pure Frank McDiarmid art.

UPDATE 16 March 2012 - The ever-reliable klakadak-ploobadoof has unearthed some more information about this strip;

"I have a new piece of info to add with regard to the Ghouldilocks episode reprinted in Cheeky. Accidentally I discovered that I wasn't completely right that it wasn't reprinted in Shiver and Shake. Indeed, it didn't appear in the weekly comic proper, but in 1973 IPC companion comics Whizzer and Chips, Knockout and Cor!! all had a feature called Star Guest where strips from one comic made guest appearances in the other papers. The episode that you showed was reprinted in Cor!! dated 1st December, 1973 and Ghouldilocks was introduced as a Shiver and Shake favourite."

Thanks, k-p.

The features - The Terrible Trail To Taggart's Treasure

Finding a strip to satisfactorily fill the Saturday adventure film slot, left vacant when James Bold's 41-week run in Cheeky Weekly came to an end in the 05 August 1978 issue, evidently proved difficult. I can only assume that the decision to bring Bold's adventures to an end in Cheeky Weekly was based on economics.  The first feature to represent the adventure film was of course Space Family Robinson, an original series that ran for 36 issues. Following the Robinsons' return to Earth, Bold's final Cheeky Weekly escapade occupied the adventure film slot for 6 episodes (the previous Bold stories had been presented as novels that Cheeky read each week). As we have seen, Bold's adventures appear to have been redrawn versions of scripts originally written for the Maxwell Hawke feature in 1960s issues of Buster. Reusing old scripts presumably reduced IPC's costs, but after the Bold series came to an end, all the subsequent features to represent the adventure film component of Cheeky's Week were straight reprints, thereby paring costs to the minimum.

The first post-Bold adventure film series was Archie's Angels, a tale of aerial derring-do performed by a team of junior pilots, and a reprint from Whizzer and Chips. Archie and his airborne pals hung up their flying helmets after their 6-issue adventure concluded in the 16 September 1978 Cheeky Weekly, and Sonny Storm (reprinted from Cor!! and evidently merely a filler as far as Cheeky Weekly was concerned) moved into the adventure film slot for a single week.

Neither Archie nor Sonny featured the same spooky atmospherics in their adventures as had been memorably evident in the Bold tales, but spookiness, this time of a nautical nature, was about to return to the pages of the toothy funster's comic…

In the second episode, our intrepid castaways study the map and decide it must carry some cryptic indication of the location of Black Taggart's buried treasure. However, setting aside any avaricious thoughts, the trio begin to search the island for some means of escape, encountering looming statues along the way. Suddenly a glowing apparition in pirate garb appears and gestures with his cutlass towards a large wolf-shaped rock, which springs to life and leaps in pursuit of our heroes.

The Masons run for their lives, seeking cover in what appears to be a fog bank, but realise too late that they have entered an area where geysers are spewing steam into the air. The ghostly pirate appears once again to gloat over the predicament in which the fugitives find themselves. Brett hurls himself at the apparition, but falls through one of the geysers and finds a gully leading away from the hot springs. The trio enter the gully and eventually emerge in an abandoned mine where Clive, taking advantage of a few moments' respite from their piratical tormentor, checks a travel brochure and identifies the ghost as Black Taggart, who died on Skar Island over 300 years earlier. This scene is probably included for the benefit of latecomers, since Brett Mason had already expounded on devilish Black Taggart in the first episode.

At that moment part of the mine roof caves in, and Taggart appears once again. With another wave of his cutlass, the apparition causes a fissure to appear in the mine wall, through which water cascades, a deluge which threatens to flood the mine.

As Taggart's ghost dissolves into the shadows, the Masons realise their only chance of escape is to climb the cave wall. So doing, they find a crack in the cavern roof and emerge into daylight just as the torrent fills the underground chasm.

The indefatigable trio strike out to find the coast of the island, and soon enter a valley containing dozens of menacing stone statues. Taggart's voice warns our heroes that a fate worse than drowning now confronts them, and at that moment the statues uproot themselves and lurch menacingly towards the terrified castaways.

Just as the Masons think they can outrun the animated statues, large rocks shoot forth from the mouths of their stone pursuers. Dodging the hurtling boulders, our heroes find themselves standing on the lip of a ravine with the advancing stone figures mere metres behind, preparing for a final rocky fusillade. Grabbing the kids, Brett plunges from the ravine into the river below.

Swept away by the speeding waters, the castaways soon find themselves deposited in a gloomy swamp. As Angela slumps, exhausted, on a mud bank, no-one notices a green tendril snaking its way towards her from the surrounding undergrowth.

Angela's scream alerts Brett, who hurls a large rock at the centre of a carnivorous plant as its hairy tendril wraps itself around the horror-stricken girl. Angela, now freed from the plant's grip, joins with Brett and Clive as they try to navigate a course out of the foetid swamp by following the river, a task made more perilous as the crepuscular gloom sets in.

Spying a light ahead, our heroes think they are coming to the end of the swamp, but are dismayed when they realise the source of the eerie glow is in fact the ghostly seafarer yet again.  Brett, by now suspecting that the figure is not actually a spectre, heaves a rock at it, but the three castaways are aghast as the rock seems to pass through the glowing figure. Angela runs off in panic, straight into the thrashing tendrils of another vegetable carnivore.

As the cackling phantom cruelly looks on, Brett and Clive throw rocks at Angela's plant assailant, but to no avail. Brett realises a more potent weapon is required, and goads Taggart by calling him a coward.  Mason's cunning ruse proves effective, as the enraged ghost unleashes a lambent blast from his cutlass, which rips into the centre of Angela's thrashing attacker, killing it.

As the girl recovers from her ordeal, Brett wonders why the now-vanished pirate didn't turn his power-cutlass on the castaways. Unable to come up with an answer, Brett determines to locate Taggart's treasure before leaving the island, and our heroes move out of the marsh, only to be confronted by a hideous, glowing wraith. The Masons then find themselves hurled into a waking nightmare, as a cackling skull appears, then the surrounding vegetation begins writhing and contorting.  Wailing, ghostly figures - some human, some animal - begin advancing on the trio from all sides.

Another blast from the power-cutlass announces the return of Black Taggart's ghost, who has grown to gigantic proportions. As the eerie figure looms over the fearful castaways, Brett takes up a rock and hurls it.  But Taggart isn't Brett's target -the sharp-eyed leader of the Mason trio has spotted a slide projector atop a rocky ledge, and his well-aimed projectile smashes the device. Taggart's gigantic, glowing figure vanishes simultaneously.

Brett and Angela's triumphant realisation that Taggart wasn't actually a ghost is short-lived, as they become aware that Clive, who was standing at the smoking point of impact of Taggart's power-blast, is nowhere to be seen. All that's left is Clive's travel brochure.

Now read on…

And thus the story reached a happy conclusion (for all except Maddox) in the 9th instalment, with a supposed supernatural threat being exposed as purely human, much in the manner of the James Bold scripts. At least, that was the end as far as Cheeky Weekly was concerned - on its original appearance in Shiver and Shake, where the story as printed in Cheeky weekly ran from 09 June 1973 to 04 August 1973, there was one further Taggart-related feature. Readers of that earlier comic were invited, in a competition that was run the week after the final instalment of The Terrible Trail To Taggart's Treasure, to send in their suggestions as to where on the island the treasure was found. Successful treasure seekers could bag one of the 50 £1 prizes.  To aid their hunt for Taggart's booty, Shiver and Shake readers had been provided with a map which was printed alongside the first 2-page instalment. As this map wasn't printed in Cheeky Weekly, there was no competition associated with the strip on its reprint run.

The second page of the first Taggart instalment in the Cheeky Weekly reprint has been re-lettered, resulting in different placement of some speech balloons, and edited wording in the introductory text box on this page.  I can only assume this was necessary as the original artwork had been damaged and the lettering had become detached. The captions which had appeared at the bottom of the second page of each instalment when first printed in Shiver and Shake (e.g. 'Will Skar Island claim the Masons?  Read on next week?' (sic)) were in the reprints replaced with a similar caption (usually a variant on 'Is this the end for the Masons? Find out next week!') overlaid on the final panel of each instalment, with the exception of the 25 November 1978 episode, which is without such a caption. Presumably it was felt that the concluding panel that week, featuring a pile of smoking rubble in the foreground where Clive had been standing, was dramatic enough on its own.  There is, of course, no 'read on next week' caption in the final episode.

Different lettering. Acknowledgements to the scanner of the Shiver and Shake art

I have not seen the issues of Shiver and Shake dated 21 and 28 July 1973, so cannot compare for any artwork/caption differences which may exist.

In both versions Clive Mason's hair appears to go white during the course of the tale, due no doubt to the strain of the whole affair.

The artwork on Taggart was by Eric Bradbury - thanks to Lew Stringer for his reply to my enquiry on the Comics UK Forum. Thanks also to klakadak-ploobadoof from the forum who provided further information about Taggart's original run in Shiver and Shake.

The Terrible Trail To Taggart's Treasure brought to an end Cheeky Weekly's  run of features based around Saturday morning picture shows. In the 09 December 1978 issue, Cheeky tells us "Some of you readers have been wondering what I do on Saturday afternoons, after I've been to the cinema.  Today, I'm going to watch our local football team". The Saturday feature in all subsequent issues concentrated on the toothy funster's afternoon pursuits.

The seafaring spectre squared off against the Masons on the cover of Cheeky Weekly dated 28 October 1978, which featured a modified (and coloured) panel from within that issue's Taggart episode.

Terry Bave's Cheeky

From Whoopee! dated 10 October 1981 comes this extract from the second instalment of Terry Bave's How To Draw Comic Strips cut-out booklet, allowing us a glimpse of his version of our toothy pal.

Alongside Cheeky are Terry's versions of other stars who shared Whoopee's pages at the time, some of whom were survivors of the merge of Cheeky Weekly into Whoopee! which occurred in February 1980.  The top row of characters consists of Toy Boy (who was regularly drawn by Terry),  the bibliophile titular character from the Bookworm feature (usually drawn by Sid Burgon), Archie from the Lolly Pop strip (also by Sid at this time although Terry seems to channeling an earlier version from the days when Arthur Martin did the visuals) and Charlie from the Calculator Kid feature (another of Terry's strips), who can also be seen in his distinctive yellow tracksuit top on the booklet's back cover - see below.  Then there's a row of lower halves which feature the young caver from The Cavers (I don't think he was ever named in the strip, which was drawn by Jim Petrie), Jack Clayton's Paddywack from the strip of the same name, Tom Paterson's Sweeny Toddler, who was actually bumped from this particular issue by Terry's booklet, and the distinctive lower portion of Mustapha Million, who was drawn in Whoopee! at this time by Joe McCaffrey.

The final row of faces commences with a familiar toothy gagster, followed by Nick Baker's Smiler, Mike Lacey's Billy Bumpkin from The Bumpkin Billionaires, and Gran who had regenerated from 6 Million Dollar Gran into Robot Granny by the time this issue was published, and was drawn in the weekly strip by Ian Knox.

This was the second of Terry's How To Draw Comic Strips booklets to feature in Whoopee!  Terry was a stalwart of IPC's comics at this time, and I really enjoy his style of drawing, which is particularly appealing when he depicts characters with beaming smiles.

Whoopee! 03 October 1981

Krazy Covers

Peter Gray has posted a whole load of Krazy covers (possibly the covers of the whole run, I didn't count), many of which feature a certain toothy funster of our acquaintance.

Cheeky Weekly cover date 07 October 1978

One of the newcomers who made their Cheeky Weekly debut in last week's revamp issue gets pride of place on the cover of The Comic With EVERYTHING!!  Yes it's a watery predicament for World War II amnesiac Mystery Boy.  This cover features two things we haven't seen on the front page since 25 February 1978 - an adventure strip being promoted on the coveted main cover feature, and the appearance thereon of a blown-up panel from inside the comic.  Beneath the main feature, in the Cheeky's Week…Sunday cover strip, Manhole Man emerges from his aperture for some repartee with our toothy hero, who then enjoys a wild west witticism with Six-Gun Sam.

In this week's 6 Million Dollar Gran episode, the synthetic senior citizen comes to the aid of Miss Vera Strict, headmistress of Nollege End School.  The headmistress is distraught because Mister Thrashem, the feared PE teacher, is unaccountably absent.  Ever-enthusiatic Gran steps in to take the PE class and soon the exhausted pupils realise that Old Thrashem wasn't so bad after all.

On Monday, Cheeky is made to stand in the corner for arriving late at school, just as Teacher introduces the first episode of new 'edutainment' feature, Laugh and Learn.  This week's episode concerns prehistoric creatures, and Cheeky's humorous interjections into the podgy pedagogue's lecture certainly seem to have originated in the paleozoic era.

Jogging Jeremy makes a guest appearance in this week's Skateboard Squad strip, and this is the first time we've seen Squad leader Skipper without his crash helmet.

On Wednesday, Flash Harry tells a worried Cheeky that this week's Mystery Comic was printed in disappearing ink.  Fortunately for Cheeky (and us readers who would otherwise be confronted with blank pages in the centre of the comic), the funny photographer hands Cheeky the snaps he took of the mysterious publication before the contents faded away.

Inside said mysterious publication, evacuee cover star Mystery Boy emerges from the train wreck which occurred at the climax of last week's episode, to find that he has no memory of his identity.

Also engaged in a frantic search to uncover his own past is The Mystery Comic's other amnesiac, Elephant On The Run.  The bewildered tusker is still unable to fathom why he's being pursued by The Man In The Plastic Mac.

A new film serial starts this week, so on Saturday Cheeky and pals settle down in the cinema to watch the first episode of spooky pirate tale, The Terrible Trail to Taggart's Treasure.  After this thrilling debut, Cheeky emerges from the cinema onto the back page where this week's Cheeky's Pal Puzzle is set by compost-encrusted school gardener, Dan-Dan the Lavender Man.

Two new features commence this issue in a continuation of the revamp which began last week - Laugh and Learn and The Terrible Trail to Taggart's Treasure (which is in fact a reprint from Shiver and Shake).

Mike Lacey has had a busy week, drawing all 10 Cheeky's Week elements, as well as his usual strips Skateboard Squad and Disaster Des.
