As for Whizz Wheels - Mike Western seems a much better suggestion than Bill lacey, but Thingumajig is definitely by Bill Lacey as he occasionally managed to sneak his signature in!George Shiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03162253849922362900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965905287512456704.post-42904471513558042382013-02-09T03:03:19.333+13:002013-02-09T03:03:19.333+13:00Super Store was by Gordon Hill, who also drew the ...Super Store was by Gordon Hill, who also drew the Krazy Gang, Doodle in the annuals, and the end of Chalky's days in Buster. Excellent artist!<br /><br />I think someone on Comics UK said Whizz Wheels was by Mike Western - certainly every series I read from about 1978 until the penultimate series was by the same artist (the final series was a three-parter by Brian Walker and was in Chips!) The artwork is certainly different from the work on Thingumajig.Andy Boalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181293853802413958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965905287512456704.post-3623190152738732432013-02-08T17:05:13.015+13:002013-02-08T17:05:13.015+13:00@Kid - I suppose they kept Whizzer and Chips going...@Kid - I suppose they kept Whizzer and Chips going until just past it's 21st birthday just so they could say it had a 21 year run, and it would look good in the books!<br /><br />@Anon - Glad you have fond memories of Whizzer and Chips! A comic strip about such a problem appeared in one issue, and the solution was to have one youngster to read Whizzer, and the other Chips!George Shiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03162253849922362900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965905287512456704.post-44321738945992215182013-02-08T07:30:23.734+13:002013-02-08T07:30:23.734+13:00Loved Whizzer and Chips, me and my sister used to ...Loved Whizzer and Chips, me and my sister used to fight over who would get a copy every week with our pocket money, 1978 was a good time for comics, so glad I found your site keep up the good work,I still have some including no2 issue and the very last one, and all the annuals from 1971 to 1994.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965905287512456704.post-67372938914395212742013-02-08T03:24:05.687+13:002013-02-08T03:24:05.687+13:00I wasn't buying Whizzer & Chips in 1978 (a...I wasn't buying Whizzer & Chips in 1978 (apart from the occasional special or free gift issue), but I well remember buying the very first issue (and subsequent ones) in 1969. You may not have noticed, but W&C lasted a week past its 21st birthday, which was ignored in the comic. I suppose they thought there was no point drawing attention to it as the comic was finishing the next issue.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
