I have previously examined the brief contributions of artists Joe McCaffrey and Robert Nixon to Mustapha Million's new series which commenced in Whizzer and Chips dated 18 January 1986. As of Whizzer and Chips dated 05 April 1986 another hand began to illustrate the escapades of the philanthropic funster. The identity of this artist puzzled me...

| Whizzer and Chips 05 April 1986 |
What is certain is that Barry Glennard drew the feature as from Whizzer and Chips dated 11 April 1987, because from that date he began signing the artwork (on most episodes).

I suspect that both of the above episodes were drawn by Barry Glennard, because it seems to me that when he became the Mustapha artist, Barry was in the process of developing a new drawing style. I have to admit that, sadly, I'm not very familiar with Barry's work other than his run on a certain character with an obsession about the printed word (of which more below), so I may have wrongly attributed the artwork credits for some or all of the strips dated 05 April 1986 to 04 April 1987. I set out below my reasoning for attributing the artwork to Barry.
Prior to taking on Mustapha, Barry had a long association with IPC's literature-loving lad to whom I alluded aboved, namely Bookworm, a character who had joined the roster of Whoopee! funny folk in the issue dated 22 April 1978, originally drawn by Sid Burgon. The strip was among those which survived the cull of Whoopee! features that was necessary to facilitate the influx of material resulting from the creation of the combined title Whoopee! and Cheeky, following Cheeky Weekly's 1980 demise. In the post-Cheeky-merge era, Sid continued to provide the Bookworm visuals, although Barry Glennard would occasionally deputise with a drawing style seemingly closely modelled on Sid's (and Mike Lacey stood in for 4 consective issues; 03 to 24 January 1981). An artist whom I'm unable to identify, and who initially depicted characters with four fingers and a thumb on each hand, rather than the three fingers and a thumb style of Sid and Barry (although for his/her final 2 strips the mystery artist reduced the finger-count to match the digit configuration of their predecessors), also contributed 5 episodes between November 1981 and January 1982.
Barry Glennard eventually became the sole Bookworm artist as of Whoopee and Wow! dated 07 July 1984. Bookworm's brand of bibliophile fun must have been popular with readers as the tome-toting tyke successfully negotiated another merge, this time resulting in the comic amalgamation rather inelegantly styling itself Whizzer and Chips now including Whoopee in April 1985. Barry continued as the Bookworm artist after this latest comic consolidation, but signs of his intention to deviate from the Burgon style became apparent in the 08 February 1986 edition, in which 5 panels included, separate from the main narrative, 'zany' text quips and images, something which hadn't previously featured in Barry's Bookworm work.

| Barry Glennard gets 'zany' - Whizzer and Chips 08 February 1986 |
More 'wacky' captions were in evidence during some of the following Bookworm episodes, but the 15 March 1986 edition substituted a Sid Burgon Bookworm reprint. However, when Barry returned to illustrating Bookworm's adventures (and I'm assuming that it was Barry and not another artist) with a half-page episode just a week later, shown below, his drawing style had changed markedly, having become considerably more dynamic and slapstick.
 |
| A more dynamic Barry - Whizzer and Chips 22 March 1986 |
Barry continued to apply his new, more energetic style to Bookworm until his final contribution to the feature appeared in Whizzer and Chips dated 26 July 1986, which effectively closed the book on the character as regards the weekly Whizzer and Chips, although the strip did make one further reprinted, Sid-Burgon-drawn appearance in the comic dated 13 September 1986.
So it seems to me that Barry began developing a new style in early 1986. It could be that Barry introduced these changes at the behest of the Whizzer and Chips editor, who felt that a more lively approach would benefit the comic, or it may be that Barry introduced the changes of his own volition. Whether the revamp of Barry's style was in preparation for his adoption of artwork duties on Mustapha is something about which we can only speculate.
From the commencement of Barry's run as the Mustapha artist, in the aforementioned 05 April 1986 Whizzer and Chips, and until his final work on Bookworm, in the also aforementioned 26 July 1986 edition, there were 3 issues in which Bookworm failed to appear (12 April, 03 May, 17 May), whereas Barry provided weekly Bookworm episodes, with the exception of only 2 issues, between 07 July 1984 (Whoopee and Wow!) and 05 April 1986, (Whizzer and Chips) i.e. Barry's Bookworm was present in 90 of the 92 issues published between those dates*. All the weekly Bookworm episodes drawn by Barry concluded in a single page or less, whereas Mustapha's adventures consisted of 2 pages (with the exception of 2 single-page episodes and 4 page-and-a-half escapades), so possibly Barry's 1986 Bookworm output was impacted by the higher Mustapha workload. The fact that Bookworm effectively came to an end in July 1986, and Mustapha's new artist began contributing in April 1986 could suggest that the same illustrator was drawing both.
Barry had previously drawn just one Mustapha episode, occupying 3 pages, in the 1979 Cheeky Summer Special.
The Mustapha scripts which Barry illustrated in Whizzer and Chips remained true to the established format, with our hero using his wealth to help his pals, and humorous situations often arising from his misunderstanding of UK customs or taking British idioms literally, while trying to avoid his tutors (although by this stage young Master Million had outstayed the originally-planned one-year duration of his educational sojourn in the UK, as set out in the first issue of Cheeky Weekly in October 1977, by some years).
The 12 April 1986 story, the second of Barry's contributions to the new run, and the 452nd Mustapha episode (among which were 96 reprints) including those in Annuals and Specials plus Star Guest outings, was the first ever Mustapha strip to include a black character (an un-named and silent pal of Mustapha's). Barry would thereafter regularly include black characters among the supporting cast.

The 24 May 1986 story strays into the realms of science-fantasy, when Mustapha buys a copying machine capable of generating duplicates of physical objects, with the intention of creating multiple toys to give to his pals. However he goes on to generate android copies of his chums and himself so that the synthetic substitutes can attend school in place of the originals. The fate of the duplicates is never resolved as they aren't seen again.
Mustapha hires The Z-Team to engage in a game of cops and robbers in the 07 June 1986 edition. The crime-fighting group arrive in a vehicle very similar to that seen in popular 1980s TV series The A-Team, but only one member of the TV cast is seen in the strip, a character based on Mr T's portrayal of the gold-chain-bedecked B. A. Baracus. Mr T is also seen on a poster in the youngsters' gang hut in the 22 November 1986 edition.
More felon-foiling TV 'Tecs are on display in the 16 August 1986 issue as Mustapha, unable to find his pals, assumes his chums have been kidnapped.

Keen to arrange a holiday for his pals, Mustapha makes hasty arrangements to hire an island during his 23 August 1986 adventure. Our wealthy chum assumes he has rented a tropical atoll, but at the end of the story realises that he has hired the whole of the British Isles for a week.
Mustapha's pet hippo, Frisky, who first appeared in Cheeky Weekly dated 24 March 1979, is seen enjoying a party to celebrate his birthday in the 20 September 1986 episode.
A colour reprint of the Mustapha Million escapade that originally appeared in Whoopee! dated 30 June 1979, drawn by Joe McCaffrey, was included in Whizzer and Chips dated 29 November 1986.
Science fiction is again the theme in Mustapha's 10 January 1987 adventure as, en route to buy Jimmy a birthday present, Mustapha mistakes a resting flying saucer for the local bus(!). Alighting from the technologically-advanced vehicle, our moneyed mate doesn't realise he's been transported to another planet, where metal is scarce and therefore a single pound coin has enormous value. On returning to Earth, Mustapha gives Jimmy the real ray-gun that his cash secured. In the final panel Jimmy is seen using the alien weapon to disintegrate some local garden walls. We can only assume that Mustapha will pay for the molecular vandalism, and that Jimmy will take care with his birthday gift. The episode ends with a fourth-wall-fracturing wink from our space-roving chum.

In the 21 February 1987 edition, our prosperous pal worries he will be expelled from the country after recklessly opening the door to his toy storage facility, unleashing thousands of balls which burst from their containment and ricochet around local streets. However, his loyal pals accept the blame for the ensuing destruction (and presumably Mustapha anonymously funds the repairs to the broken windows, shattered greenhouses and the replacement of lines of mud-splattered washing).
The purpose of Mustapha's UK sojourn drives the plot of the 21 March 1987 escapade, as Mustapha's tutor informs him, 'I have received a letter from your homeland, Master Mustapha. Your family don't think you're putting enough effort into your studies!' Mustapha leaves his mansion, pondering, 'My family are right! I have not yet mastered the British ways!' Seeing as by this time Mustapha had exceeded his planned 12-month stay by nine and a half years, the concerns of his relatives are entirely understandable. Hearing his pals' parents describing their offspring as being cheeky, naughty and untidy, and assuming such attributes to be considered desirable in the UK, our hero puts his efforts into emulating these behaviours, causing consternation in the locality. By the end of the tale, Mustapha seems not to have learnt that adults don't appreciate kids being cheeky, as he characterises his pals' parents as old nags, then the youngsters depart the scene of parental outrage on his new nags, of the equine variety.
Mustapha arranges a fishing trip for his pals in the 18 April 1987 comic. He assumes that the expedition will involve catching aquatic creatures in nets, as he observed his chums doing in their quest for minnows. However, horrified when he sees the fishing rods provided, and learning that he and his pals would be expcted to eat their catches, Mustapha instructs his bodyguard, who is dressed in stereotypically 'Arabian' garb and grasping a scimitar, to sever the fishing poles. Our piscatorially-sympathetic pal instead provides giant nets, and no water-based beasts are harmed in the making of the episode.
Over the many years of its run, the Mustapha Million stories portrayed the titular character's presence in the UK as being a positive thing, with young Mustapha readily accepted into the community by his contemporaries (admittedly, Mustapha's wealth and generosity was no doubt a persuasive factor in this regard). In turn, Mustapha himself is keen to understand and adopt British customs. However, the 25 April 1987 episode is notable in its focus on less affirmative interpretations of the issues of immigration and globalisation. The story begins with our hero deciding, as a result of seeing a poster urging the public to 'Buy British!', to purchase some 'all-British goods'. Setting out for the shops with his customary big bag of cash slung over one shoulder, Mustapha finds no British merchandise in an electrical store ('Dickinsons', referencing erstwhile retailer Dixons), and an un-named sports store. The frustrated young shopper heads over to department store Horrids, only to discover 'One of my countrymen has bought the whole store! It is British no longer!' (a reference to the 1985 purchase of Harrods by the Al Fayed brothers). Our disappointed pal invites a selection of his chums to a 'slap-up British feed', but finds only foreign food outlets on the high street. Following a recommendation by one of his pals that 'Spain is like a home from home', Mustapha and pals depart for Iberian climes, where our cheery chum observes from a sun lounger in front of a row of British food and seaside accoutrement shops, 'Ho, ho! I have found the British goods at last...They are all here in Spain!'
Assimilating into British society is again the theme a week later, although with fewer negative connotations, as Master Million has to contend with Cockney rhyming slang.
On a mission to resolve arguments, Mustapha becomes concerned about the level of disagreement evident in the Houses of Parliament (09 May 1987). When told by his pals that the MPs are arguing over who should run the country, the prosperous peacemaker replies, 'They shall all run the country!' In the final scene, Barry Glennard treats readers to a profusion of panting Parliamentarians (from left, Edwina Currie - Con, Geoffrey Howe - Con, Nigel Lawson - Con, Norman Tebbit - Con, Denis Healey - Lab, Richard Tracey [Barry's note was helpful, but I had to look him up] - Con, Margaret Thatcher - Con, Neil Kinnock - Lab).
It seems hard to believe that despite his lengthy sojourn in the country, Mustapha, who has been seen by his pals throwing away radios, watches and cameras when they cease to function, is unaware that these electrical goods have replaceable batteries (06 June 1987). At the end of the story it becomes evident that Mustapha has discarded at least 2 Rolls Royce cars for the same reason.

Whizzer and Chips dated 25 July 1987 contained a reprinted single-page Mustapha episode which had orginated in Cheeky Weekly dated 15 July 1978, drawn by Reg Parlett. It would seem that there wasn't room for the usual 2-page Mustapha story in the 25 July 1987 W&C due to the presence in that issue of 2 pages devoted to the first instalment of the Improve Your Memory with Bernie Banks cut-out booklet.

Barry Glennard's final Mustapha Million strip appeared in Whizzer and Chips dated 17 October 1987.
Barry supplied the artwork on 79 weekly Whizzer and Chips Mustapha Million episodes, spanning issue dates 05 April 1986 and 17 October 1987. 72 of those episodes were 2-pagers, 4 covered one-and-a-half pages, and the remaining 3 were single-page adventures. During the same period, Barry illustrated 2 Mustapha Million episodes in the 1987 Whoopee Holiday Special (1 single page and the other a 2 pager). Barry's Mustapha Million episode from Whizzer and Chips dated 21 June 1986 was later reprinted in the 1993 Whoopee Holiday Special.
However, despite Barry's departure, the Mustapha Million feature continued in Whizzer and Chips a week later, with more new episodes drawn by Frank McDiarmid, and I'll be reporting on those in a future post.
Mustapha was involved in 17 'raids' across the Whizzer/Chips boundary (at various times as perpetrator or victim) during the period that Barry was drawing his adventures -
- 05 April 1986 (the week that Barry took up the Mustapha artwork duties)
- 07 June 1986
- 28 June 1986
- 16 August 1986
- 23 August 1986
- 18 October 1986
- 06 December 1986
- 17 January 1987
- 14 February 1987
- 11 April 1987
- 25 April 1987
- 20 June 1987
- 27 June 1987
- 25 July 1987
- 22 August 1987
- 12 September 1987
- 19 September 1987
Unlike some less loyal characters, Mustapha remained resolutely a Chip-ite throughout his post-Whoopee weekly appearances.

*Bookworm was absent from Whizzer and Chips dated 21 December 1985 (bumped from the comic by an advert for Fleetway's 1986-dated Annuals), and a reprinted Sid Burgon Bookworm appeared in the comic dated 15 March 1986.
