Ivy the Terrible (a pun on Ivan the Terrible) is a fictional character who has her own comic strip in The Beano. The strip involves a four-year-old girl whose mischievous antics are a constant annoyance to her parents.
Ivy first appeared in issue #2233, dated 4 May 1985, but the popularity of the character led to the strip being expanded to two pages as of issue #2931 (19 September 1998). It was drawn by Robert Nixon until his death in 2002. Trevor Metcalfe briefly took over the strip, giving Ivy a noticeably more childlike and less malicious personality before successor artist Tony O'Donnell who reverted the character to her former personality.
In early 2007, O'Donnell retired from the strip, and reprints of 1989-1998 Robert Nixon stories began running.
[edit] Trivia
- Ivy's last name is genuinely "Terrible", since her mother is referred to as Mrs. Terrible.
- From 1985 to late 1994, Ivy's pigtails usually faced opposite ways (except occasional time) in late 1994 they both faced the same way. Apart from that, Ivy has always looked the same.
