Comic: Sweet Tooth
Sweet Tooth was a
very strange (also possibly a bit dull?) concept. Sweet Tooth liked sweets and
so did Greedy Greg. Sweet Tooth would always have a bag of sweets hidden away
somewhere and Greg was always trying to find them. That simple idea ran in Whizzer
and Chips comic from 1979 to 1990.
Whizzer and Chips was itself a weekly British comic that ran from
October 1969 to October 1990. It was actually two comics, one inside the other.
It ran during a period of intense competition in the comics market and a number
of other comics merged into it during this time. Eventually, in 1990, it itself
merged into Buster. At the same time many comic strips were being moved
from title to title, so it became quite confusing to keep track of everything.
Here are a few strips
that involved school. Poor Greg is the one who seems to end up on the wrong end
of the cane.
