Comic: Swopper Stan

 

I suppose writers and artists for British comics must have had a hard time thinking up new distinctive features for their characters. Just general naughtiness didn’t get them far. How else would they come up with Swopper Stan, whose claim to fame was that he swopped things. I suppose kids do this in real life, but even so it’s a bit of a stretch to make that interesting. Perhaps, that’s why Cor!!, the comic he appeared in only lasted three years.

Swopping things could also get you into trouble at school, as these examples demonstrate.
