Champ (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Champ was a British comic strip that ran in Whizzer and Chips for a number of years, and was drawn at assorted times by Leo Baxendale, Colin Whittock, Jack Edward Oliver and finally Paul Ailey, before being rested in the late 1970s.

A short run of Whittock's strips in the 1980s was followed by an extended run of Ailey's strips, but Champ had by then become a Chip-ite rather than his original Whizz-kid self.

It followed the activities of a boy named Champ, his dog, and his unnamed friend (who often served as a straight man). Most of Champ's adventures featured him attempting to become the champion in a certain activity, only to suffer pain and/or humiliation.
