Progressing to page 2 it becomes
evident that the artwork in that location has been produced by Frank McDiarmid pencils. A swift reference to the Cheeky Weekly Artist Index reveals this is the first FMP page since the 26 May 1979 comic.

Aged automaton 6 Million Dollar Gran appears to be
impinging upon Granny Gumdrop's area of expertise in this episode –
I like the parachute gag.

The latest Star Guest emissary to
Cheeky Weekly is Lazy Bones who somewhat surprisingly has summoned the energy necessary to
make the journey from Whizzer and Chips.
Luscious Lily Pop is the source of
the Mystery Comic this week, wherein our moneyed mate Mustapha Million follows Gran's example by incorporating a parachute into his adventure.

There are echoes of Gran's encounter with an aquatic adversary during the comical Caledonian capers evident in Elephant on the Run when our pachyderm pal masquerades as the Loch Porridge Monster, a ploy which displeases the genuine loch-dwelling leviathan...

There's a full complement of Mystery Comic strips in this week's issue, the first time none of the characters have been absent since 10 March 1979.
Returning to the Cheeky Weekly
section of the comic, pages 21 and 22 contain the concluding
instalment of the incredibly dull Spotter Book of Town and Around, so
good riddance to that. The final panel of Thursday looks as though it
was originally intended to introduce Speed Squad (who are absent this
week), however as Cheeky explains, the following page is in fact the
site of Joke-Box Jury (featuring, as it often did, some jokes
which would be judged inappropriate today).

Page 29 reveals that the toothy funster and chums will be getting down with the boogie beats next issue...
Cheeky's Saturday is devoted to a cricket match, and our grinning pal leads his team to
victory over Teacher's opposing side. The final panel features a
rather odd-looking toothy funster in the midst of the celebrations.
