2014 marks 45 years since Whizzer and Chips was launched, and to mark the occasion I thought I'd conduct a poll to find out what the all time most popular characters from the comic are. You can vote by commenting on the vote page or by email, more details appear here:

I liked Harry's Haunted House, Steadfast McStaunch, and Ginger's Tum - pretty equally, so I haven't listed them in order of preference. Neither can I restrict them to just three - I also liked Oddball, Sid's Snake, and Shiner.
Thanks for your vote, Kid!
Hard to get down to just 3. And I'd want to cheat with Sweeney Toddler!
By all means vote for Sweeny Toddler - it doesn't have to be a Whizzer and Chips originated character, just as long as they were published in Whizzer and Chips. After all Sweeny Toddler, a Shiver and Shake character, enjoyed a lengthy run on the cover of Whizzer and Chips and Joker, a Knockout character, appeared on the back cover for even longer.
In that case you can add Sweeny to my list as well, George. Brilliant strip.
George, do you have the Guy Fawkes mask given away with Whizzer & Chips #3?
I've just answered your question on my other blog Kid, but I'll repeat it here :) No, I don't have it - the image, along with just about all the other free gifts featured on my Whizzer and Chips site, were sent to me courtesy of Steven Adamson.
Can you ask him for me how long the mask measures from top to bottom, if you pretend there's an imaginary line down the middle of it? I'd like to check if mine is an original or not.
I've sent him an email - I'll let you know what he says. :)
Ta much.
