In the latest episode of the Funny Comics Fan Club podcast, Mark Hibbett and John Dredge are examining an issue of Krazy, the comic that spawned the Cheeky phenomenon. I'm pleased to say that they hold the comic in as high regard as I do myself, and they are enthusiastic about Cheeky's solo strip. Our hosts then discuss other Krazy content (including surprising opinions on some of the adverts!). There is disagreement between the pair about whether Krazy was inspired by Mad magazine, which I think it clearly was. I'm looking forward to hearing their views on Cheeky Weekly - no doubt they're planning to review an issue of the toothy funster's own comic at some point in the future.

The FCFC go Krazy

I concur that Krazy most certainly was inspired by Mad: the quickies (and don't we all like those - ahem) clearly point to this. Might be an idea if you asked them to tackle Cheeky rather than living in hoping and incurring disappointment
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they must have Cheeky Weekly on their list.
DeleteHi, Mark from the FCFC here - thanks for listening! We've definitely got Cheeky on the list, in fact I've just come here to do some revision for that episode - will be a while yet, but if all goes to plan it'll be out in early January!
ReplyDeleteHi Mark - that's great news. I'll be following the podcast with interest.
