Whizzer and chips 1983 Christmas..

 Was there another Christmas issue before this? Remember playing this game squeak!

Loved the characters in Joker..

 Sweet Tooth loves the chase..love Greg's mum dragging him!!

Wonder if those men are based on anyone...it has a bit of a caricature.

You can't beat a bit of Reg Parlett joyful artwork at Christmas..

Nice cover by Mike Lacey..

I have become that Big kid! I read this comic when I was just 10! 

I'll be 40 soon..wowser!

The Circus Big-tops by Reg Parlett from Whizzer and chips annual 1974

This looks like a reprint and maybe its been renamed...anyone seen this in another comic of the 60's..like Eagle etc..thanks

Jim Petrie 1932 - 2014

11th July 1970 Sparky comic

 Beano 24th May 1997

The last of the brilliant Cheeky Movie Masterpieces...Whoopee!! 4th October 1980

Very roughly based on M.*A*S*H tv program

So started 8th March 1980 ended 4th October 1980 very worth collecting them all...I will..

Jock the Rapper by Tom Paterson Dandy 1996.

A mad scientist with pink hair!! Love Tom's work..

A bit of a one off...

Gordon Bell's version of The Wild Rovers normally drawn by Ken H Harrison from Nutty comic 1982

There's less detail and less dogs..though great expressions..But its interesting to see...you can see Gordon preferred drawing dogs with short legs like in Pup Parade...and maybe he had to draw it fast for a deadline?

Ken sure does a lot of detail and more panels...they are both good in different ways...

Cheeky's Movie Masterpiece How it began...

 Whoopee and Cheeky 8th March 1980..The Vicar has a twin Brother!!

Love the WC gag!!!

I just love Frank's work and the Movie Masterpieces he does are brilliant...a real highlight..

Introducing Cheeky's people in Whoopee!!

The first combined issue...

Drawn by Mike Lacey this time...

Cheeky is a great character...and I'm know has cheeky myself...;0)
