Cheeky Weekly Cover Date 14 July 1979

Art: Mike Lacey

It's GREAT, it's FUN, it's Cheeky Weekly issue 88, one week after the introduction of the new look (which will be completed this issue as we shall see later). The comic commences with a front-page reminder that, despite the revamp, reader participation features Paddywack, Joke-Box Jury and Chit-Chat continue to offer £2 prizes to successful contributors. Also on the cover is a Mike Lacey depiction of Cheeky suffering a typically traumatic encounter with Yikky-Boo, in an image sourced from the Thursday page of Cheeky Weekly dated 24 February 1979.

On Sunday Cheeky introduces a new member of the supporting cast – it's Welsh wag Taff the Laff.

On page 3, Calculator Kid is beset by that dilemma which regularly troubles comic characters – the supposedly inaccessible sporting event. Trust Charlie's silicon-chipped sidekick to devise a method of entry.

Nigel Edwards deputises for Ian Knox on this week's 6 Million Dollar Gran episode, in which the synthetic senior citizen foils an attempt to divert an aeroplane, by landing a punch on the hi-jacker through the fuselage while the 'plane is in flight. Rather a risky strategy for all concerned but it pays off.

On Tuesday Yikky-Boo is, due to a culinary misadventure, somewhat less ebullient than during his front page appearance. There then follows some hypnotic humour involving new Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The Conservatives had won the recent general election on 03 May 1979, taking control of the country from Labour, led by Prime Minister James Callaghan (hence Cheeky's concluding joke, which wouldn't work so well as a spoken gag since the ousted PM's name was pronounced 'Callahan').

The centre pages are taken up by a colour road safety ad in the form of a comic strip entitled Football Crazy and starring the Green Cross man.

This week's Star Guest is Lolly Pop (with of course his exasperated offspring, Archie), giving his home comic of the time, Whoopee, a plug. This story, drawn by Barry Glennard, is Pop's second Star Guest visit to Cheeky Weekly – Pop kicked off the Star Guest run back in the special 31 March 1979 issue of the toothy funster's comic, illustrated on that occasion by the strip's then regular artist - Sid Burgon.

On this week's Chit-Chat page, Cheeky's message gives us some insight into the tribulations of producing a comic, and then the toothy funster has to apologise to reader Julie Mock for omitting her name from the list of Smurf Competition winners back in the 24 March 1979 comic.

Nosy Nora makes her final Cheeky Weekly appearance (in a non-speaking role), as one of Cheeky's classmates in the second panel of the Friday page. Nora's relevance to Cheeky's Week no longer exists as her role related to the Mystery Comic concept which was dropped as of last week.

On Saturday Cheeky is sent to do the shopping, and is given an even more onerous task in the final panel where, thanks to some deft copy-and-paste work, he informs readers of impending strain on their pocket money.

The comic rounds off with a new strip elevating Cheeky's mollusc mate to become the star of his own feature.

The two new strips which commenced last week (The Gang and Stage School) are joined by Snail of the Century to complete the 'new look'. It would seem Snail's debut in his own feature was delayed by 7 days due to the presence of a colour advertisement on last week's back page.

Mike Lacey delivers 8 Cheeky's Week elements in this issue, a figure which includes Mike's reprinted cover art as one element (but the 2-page Saturday is also counted as a single element, so it kind of compensates), with Frank McDiarmid supplying the artwork for Snail of the Century, a new addition to the Cheeky's Week roster as of this edition. However, Frank's contribution of a Cheeky in the final panel of Saturday is not included in the count.

Cheeky's Snappy Raid

The issue of Whizzer and Chips in which Store Wars made its debut (dated 05 September 1981 and referenced in an earlier post) also contained a 'raid' carried out by Cheeky. The toothy funster had been appearing in Whizzer and Chips as a member of The Krazy Gang since Krazy comic folded in April 1978, and the 05 September 1981 issue of course predates the post-Whoopee-merge period which I'm documenting in the Whizzer and Chips - the Cheeky Raids series. However, since I had the comic to hand and we can never have too much of a Cheeky thing, I thought I'd record in this post the occasion on which our grinning pal ventured into enemy Whizzer territory and brought back a trophy...

Whizzer and Chips 05 September 1981

Unlike the raids I'm covering in the series of posts mentioned above, this raid was perpetrated and announced within the same issue. Here's the Champ story from that same edition...

In the same issue Cheeky, along with the rest of The Krazy Gang, was involved in fruit-picking fun.

Frankly, It's Kid

One of the many pleasures of being a comic enthusiast is the unexpected 'ghostings' one occasionally encounters - it's always fascinating to see how one mighty wielder of the pen will depict characters who have a strong connection to another luminary of the visual arts. Over at the ever-excellent Kazoop blog Irmantas has posted some superb colour work by Frank McDiarmid on Kid Kong. Do yourself a favour and head on over to experience this rare treat.

Doug Jensen, not Doug Goodwin

Store Wars, a rollicking tale of retail rivalry, made its debut in Whizzer and Chips dated 05 September 1981. Rather unusually for a humour strip at that time, the feature's initial instalment ran to 3 pages (and the fourth panel contains an image of utter despondency, the like of which I've never seen in a kids' humour strip).

Whizzer and Chips 05 September 1981

For many years I was unable to put a name to the artist who first drew the strip (artwork duties on Store Wars were eventually passed to Jim Watson and then apparently Jimmy Hansen although I don't recall that myself. UPDATE 09 January 2026 - Yes, Jimmy Hansen drew the feature beginning in Whizzer and Chips dated 13 June 1987). In latter years I came to associate this artist's work with the name Doug Goodwin. I wasn't the only one to make that connection, as evidenced by the Wikipedia entry for Store Wars.

However, I was recently perusing Whizzer and Chips dated 27 September 1986, and spotted the first letter on the Sid's Whizz-kids page...

Whizzer and Chips 27 September 1986

Vigilant reader Robert Ravenscroft had noted a change in the artwork style on Store Wars, because as of the 02 August 1986 'new look' issue, reprints drawn by the original artist had replaced episodes drawn by Jim Watson. Just for comparison, here's the Store Wars story from the issue of Whizzer and Chips in which the letter above appeared...

Whizzer and Chips 27 September 1986

I think we can all agree that this artist is the same person who drew the first episode above.

I must have read the letter and reply when I bought the comic in 1986, but unfortunately over the years the artist's name evidently exited my brain via a gap in a bunch of neurons.

Now, you may be thinking that we're veering somewhat from Cheeky-related matters here, but this does in fact impact on the Cheeky canon, as the artist I now know to be Doug Jensen drew a nine-page Stage School tale in the Cheeky Annual cover-dated 1985. Here's the first instalment...

Sadly, a quick online search doesn't turn up any info regarding Doug Jensen, comic artist, although there is an animator of that name who was credited with work during the 1970s. If anyone has more details please get in touch.

The Features – Stage School

First episode, Cheeky Weekly 07 July 1979
Art: Robert Nixon

Making its debut in Cheeky Weekly number 87 (the 'New Look' issue), Stage School brought a new twist to that staple of British comics, the eternal battle between schoolkids and their teacher. The spin in this case was that the pupils all aspired to careers in show-business and would thus rather be spending time in the Stage School located across the playground from the 'real class' in which most of the stories took place. Real lessons were taught by a typically bad-tempered teacher wearing the traditional robe and mortarboard, who detested all matters relating to entertainment. The kids' showbiz teacher appeared only occasionally but, in contrast to the real teacher, was a cheery sort who sported a cravat, an item of neckwear which was a late 1970s shortcut to denote 'arty' types – see also Are You Being Served?, The Dick Emery Show, The Two Ronnies etc.

Each of the kids focused on a particular branch of showbusiness. The class included, among others, a mini-magician, a ballerina, Jo-Jo the trainee clown, Merla the mindreader and a junior ventriloquist. The kids employed their own peculiar talents and skills to disrupt the progress of lessons in real class. Perhaps the most memorable student was incompetent escapologist Houdanny (cf Erich Weisz aka Harry Houdini), who spent most strips failing to emerge from a sack wrapped in chains and padlocks.

A panel in the strip dated 19 January 1980, in which Sir drives the kids out of town then dumps them, leaving them to make their own way back to school (his idea of an initiative test), shows our heroes travelling back on a bus going to Kensal Rise, an area of north London, suggesting that the educational establishment is situated somewhere in that area. The Kensal Green/Rise area is now, rather appropriately, home to a number of celebrities but in the late 1970s was considerably less salubrious than of late.

Stage School was absent from just 5 of the issues published after its commencement, notching up appearances in 26 issues, including the final edition of the toothy funster's comic dated 02 February 1980. All but 3 episodes were drawn by Robert Nixon, with Barry Glennard deputising in Mr Nixon's absence. 22 stories were 2-pagers, the remainder concluding within a single page. A single SS strip was in colour, the rest being in black and white.

Robert Nixon

The feature's original title panel depicted a stage with spotlight shining on Teacher as he retracted the sleeve of his cane-wielding arm, the more easily to apply a thrashing to a perspiring pupil's posterior. This somewhat discomfiting tableau was replaced as of the 24 November 1979 issue by a panel simply displaying the strip's title surrounded by stars. This revised intro frame design (with its customary snow-bedecked variant in the Christmas 1979 issue) continued to appear until the end of the Cheeky Weekly run.

Was Houdanny yet another Cheeky Weekly
Inconsistent Hair Colour Syndrome sufferer?
Or was he just experimenting with hair dye as part
of his showbiz course?

The showbiz shenanigans extended to the Cheeky Weekly Holiday Special 1980 and the 1981 Summer Special, each of which contained a single, 2-page Stage School story drawn by Barry Glennard. Teacher and his theatrically-inclined students also appeared in the Cheeky Annuals cover-dated 1981 (1 story, drawn by Barry Glennard), 1982 (1 story, Robert Nixon), 1983 (1 story, Jim Watson), 1984 (1 story, Barry Glennard) and 1985 (three 3-page instalments of a story drawn by Doug Jensen). In the same Annual we also witness Cheeky reading a Stage School tale, which sets our toothy pal cogitating on a possible career for himself in the footlights.

Our mini showbiz chums' tyrannical teacher (never named in the stories) was among the characters who met their future Whoopee colleagues as the merge with that title was announced in the final issue of the toothy funster's comic.

Art: Robert Nixon

The strip then became a permanent fixture in Whoopee until that title was itself cancelled and merged into Whizzer and Chips as of April 1985. This commendable 5-year run in Whoopee had seen the characters referred to in Cheeky Weekly as Olga and Shakespearian Sam rechristened Margot and Hammy respectively. The character who would be known as Marvo in Whoopee was referred to as Tony in Cheeky Weekly dated 13 October 1979., while Merla the Mind-Reader became Gypsy Rosie in Whoopee. Strongo and Jo-Jo the clown both underwent character redesigns following their move to Whoopee.

The school's headmaster, who appeared only once in Cheeky Weekly, became a semi-regular character during the strip's Whoopee run.

Stage School was among the 3 strips that had originated in Cheeky Weekly which made the transition into Whizzer and Chips when Whoopee folded. However, the feature's survival was as fleeting as many a showbiz career since it made just a single Whizzer and Chips appearance in the 20 April 1985 issue. UPDATE 11 August 2016 - Many thanks to Stephen Archer for pointing out that Stage School made a second Whizzer and Chips appearance in the issue date 13 July 1985.

A nice fun feature benefiting from Robert Nixon's lively artwork, Stage School was among Cheeky Weekly's highlights and its extended Whoopee run made it the second longest surviving strip to have emerged from the Cheeky stable.

Over the years I'd come to assume that this strip was inspired by the movie Fame, but it seems the film premiered some months after the strip made its debut.

Whizzer and Chips - The Cheeky Raids part 8

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.

Whizzer and Chips had a long tradition of sending characters from the Chips section into Whizzer and vice versa. These cross-comic forays were known as 'raids'. In this series of posts I'm chronicling the raids involving the ex-Cheeky Weekly characters who made the transition into Whizzer and Chips, all of whom were allocated to the Chips section. For the purposes of this series, although this particular manifestation of the toothy funster didn't directly descend from Cheeky Weekly, I'm including Cheeky's Krazy Gang appearances as those of an 'ex-Cheeky Weekly character'.

Only one week after the previous raid involving one of our ex-Cheeky Weekly chums, the toothy funster was embroiled in a further cross-comic sortie, as a victim. Can you spot the Whizz-Kid raider in this Krazy Gang tale (in which Cheeky plays a vital role in exposing dastardly dairy doings) from the 13 July 1985 issue of Whizzer and Chips? Scroll down to see the rascally raider revealed...

This is the third time (in the post-Whoopee-merge period) that the Krazy Gang have been raided, and means our ex-Cheeky chums have suffered a total of 6 raids while perpetrating 3.

Revamp 3

Revamp 3, which was introduced in the 'new look' issue dated 07 July 1979, was not as extensive as the previous overhaul that Cheeky Weekly underwent 9 months earlier. Possibly this was because it was felt by IPC's management that Cheeky Weekly was doing pretty well at the time so only needed minor tweaking. Alternatively, (and more likely in my opinion in the light of what was to occur in subsequent months) the view at executive level may have been that the comic was on its last legs and thus little more than a desultory attempt at a revival was appropriate. The main focus of those in IPC's comic office at that time was probably being directed towards the latest addition to their humour/adventure stable, Jackpot, which had made its debut just a couple of months earlier.

The most noticeable change as of revamp 3 was the loss of the Mystery Comic as a conceptual grouping of features in the centre pages (the comic-within-a-comic idea was one that IPC/Fleetway flirted with a number of times, seemingly attempting to emulate the success of their 2-in-1 comic Whizzer and Chips). However, all the former Mystery Comic strips would continue, but distributed around the comic.

3 features came to an end as of the previous issue in order to free up space for new strips. These were;

• The Cheeky's Week...Sunday cover strip, which was replaced with a series of untitled, single-panel cover gags, sometimes sharing the front page with news of various promotions
• Reprint from Shiver and Shake (see, I told you IPC returned to the 2-in-1 comic idea on multiple occasions), Menace of the Alpha Man
• The Burpo Special

Three 'new' strips were welcomed aboard as part of the overhaul, two of which featured characters who hadn't previously appeared in the comic; Stage School and The Gang, the latter being a re-titled reprint of The Double Deckers from Whizzer and Chips. The third new strip (which didn't actually make its debut until the 14 July 1979 issue) starred Cheeky's slithering sidekick in the punningly-titled Snail Of The Century.

Cheeky's daily pages were re-designed, losing the introductory Cheeky's Week title panel as well as the What did YOU do today? Diary section at the foot of the page (no doubt to the relief of reader Emily Jacob, who had expressed her dislike of this aspect of revamp 2 in the 12 May 1979 issue).

Cheeky Weekly's unique feature - the linking of all the non-Cheeky strips into the toothy funster's universe by various framing devices (such as Creepy Sleepy Tale being a bedtime story that Cheeky read to Baby Burpo, and Space Family Robinson being a film series shown during the Saturday morning pictures) expired as of this revamp (with the exception of Snail of the Century which, starring as it did Cheeky's mollusc mate was clearly linked to Krazy Town and often featured our grinning pal.)

Another small but familiar element was also dropped as of the 07 July 1979 issue - the little dates corresponding to each issue's cover date that had previously been printed on Cheeky Weekly's pages ceased to appear.

Rather surprisingly (to me, anyway) revamp 3 took place during the course of IPC's 1979 Star Guest promotion. One might have expected Cheeky Weekly's editor to delay the comic's refashioning (such as it was) until after the final Star Guest strip had appeared, just 3 weeks later in the 28 July 1979 issue. It would also have been nice to delay the metamorphosis of Skateboard Squad into Speed Squad for a few weeks until the revamp, but maybe the scriptwriter had exhausted all board-based ideas by May '79.

The table below compares the contents of the Revamp 2 issue (30 September 1978) and the Revamp 3 issue, It matches the features included in both (the first 17 rows), then goes on to...

• List those which started after Revamp 2 but which continued beyond Revamp 3 ('X - New after 30-Sep-1978: Begins DD-Mon-YYYY'),
• List those that were running as of Revamp 2 but expired before Revamp 3 ('X - Ended DD-Mon-YYYY')
• List those that were absent from the Revamp 3 issue but would return later ('X - Will return')
• List those which started after the commencement of Revamp 2 and ended before Revamp 3, ordered by the date on which they finished  ('Started and finished within dates')
