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.
Whizzer and Chips dated 28 June 1986 is the
source of this Mustapha Million tale in which the philanthropic
funster causes a certain amount of athletic antagonism before
resolving the train of events to the satisfaction of all. But who is
the errant Whizz-kid intent on derailing the fun? Scroll down for the
answer.

Whizzer and Chips 28 June 1986

Yes, it's the mono-molared* confectionery
consumer Sweet Tooth, carrying out his first raid on one of our ex-Cheeky Weekly chums. This is the eighth raid perpetrated upon the middle-eastern moneybags, and the twentieth incursion by those pesky Whizz-kids into the pages of Cheeky Weekly survivors, who themselves had by this stage infiltrated Whizzer on 10 occasions.
More raiding fun soon!
*Okay, I know that Sweet Tooth's surviving gnasher is in fact an incisor but that didn't serve my alliterative purposes.
