Whizzer and Chips - The Cheeky Raids part 40

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. Calculator Kid survived a little longer, his run of reprints coming to an end in the 26 July 1986 edition and leaving Mustapha Million as the sole Cheeky Weekly survivor.

A week after Mustapha intruded upon Sweet-Tooth, our moneyed mate was subject to a Whizz-Kid intruder. Scroll down to discover the identity of the interloper.

Yes, it's the rubbery rascal Odd-Ball, making his 3rd raid on Mustapha. We might have guessed the sneaky sphere wouldn't be far away when the strip concerned a load of balls. Odd-Ball had been intruded upon by Mustapha on 2 previous occasions.

More raiding fun soon!
