Whizzer and Chips raids!

Colin Whittock
29th September 1984
Here is what a raid is normally like..there is Sammy Shrink from the Chips part of Whizzer and chips comic..panel 6! A kind of Wheres Wally type game but covering lots of page hunting..

Raids can be more adventurous than this..sometimes pages were messed around..
Heres The Champ..

Jack loved word play and would of loved this.it was done again which I can't find when the title was changed to The Chump


Paul Ailey
29th Novemeber 1980
The week before Chips characters has made no less than 5 raids into Whizzer hiding in the story..



Whizzer and Chips 29th Nov 1980 The Greatest raid ever..has there been a better one than this one drawn by Terry Bave?

Chips seems to be the winner on raiding the other comic...I love this type of thing has it gets the reader involved..

Inspired by Lews blog on his Easter comic cover theme I'd thought I would just focus on one issue. Whoopee and Cheeky 1981.
This is how comics celebrated Easter and its great...whether its egg rolling, winning huge Easter eggs, Easter parades, Easter Fairs, Easter egg hunt,Going to the seaside and visiting Aunties recieving Easter presents. Also Easter bonnets are featured in the Cheeky story and of course the Baker boy is carrying hot cross buns!!
As you can see Easter can cover many topics..

Changed wording to my own thoughts-
The Beano and Dandy today should celebrate Easter more in there comics....
To give The Beano a little credit at least the Dennis story was on the topic of April Fools day..

In the issue was a toothpaste advert!!!...after all that chocolate me thinks...:)

Chalky is Top of the pops

Terry Bave actually created the character and drew the first ones.
Cor!! 24th July 1971.




Chalky was a very popular character and made it to number 1 in a poll.
It was a great concept drawing a picture which people think is real.
UPDATE Its by Dick Millington.






see what I mean...:)



Gordon Hill did a very lively Chalky..Gordon also drew the Krazy Gang. I will show more of Gordon's comic character work another time.
The cover of course was mostly starred Buster himself.

Reg Parlett said that Chalky was his favourite character...he said this in 1991 so theres a compliment.

Scribbler's page by Terry Bave-Whizzer and Chips 1970

A fun idea where readers send in there scribble ideas for it to be turned into a story. I like this...a bit like Spoofer in Sparky suggesting a question. Mind yopu the puns throughout the page did make me cringe..maybe that is why it didn't last long..

Heres my Terry Bave website-
