Freddie Fear

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freddie Fear is a fictional character who has his own comic strip in the UK comic The Beano, the tagline being Son of a Witch.

Freddie Fear is a normal boy, but he lives with his mother, a witch. Each week they show adventures, mainly Freddie trying to do something normal and then his mum comes along and makes it all magical. He has a couple of pet monsters. The strip first appeared in issue 3103, dated 5 January 2002, where Beano readers voted between it and two other comic strips (Phone-a-Fiend and Space Kidette) for which one they wanted to stay in the comic. Freddie's strip won. It is drawn by Dave Eastbury. Since his first appearance, he has grown more and more used to his mother's witchcraft and, if anything, he if frequently frustrated by the stupidity of his mother or the other spooks, such as getting annoyed with his mother for trying to bake cakes using spells (resulting in a lot of snakes being produced, as, ironically, his mother cannot spell).

[edit] Trivia

• On one of the Freddie Fear-strips, Dave Eastbury's signature was different
• Although Freddie Fear debuted in 2002, he was not in the 2003 annual. This is probably because the people at D. C. Thomson had already been working on the annual before he was released.
