Whoopee Monthly

Before it was folded into BVC, Whoopee Monthly was a British children’s comic, published by Fleetway Editions (best known in the States as the company that gave us 2000 A.D. and Judge Dredd). Like most of Fleetway’s pre-teen fare, Whoopee consisted entirely of one-and two-page gag strips, featuring a variety of humorous characters.

Mustapha Million, for instance, was an Arab sheik who constantly had to elude his own bodyguards and other signs of wealth in order to have fun with regular kids. Calculator Kid had a talking calculator as a friend, and often used it to foil criminals or escape getting into trouble himself. Book Worm was, as can be expected, a studious sort whose love for books was often taken to extremes. Most painful of the bunch was probably Kid Comic, who dreamed of becoming a professional comedian, but who, in the meantime, would leave readers groaning with his awful one-liners.
