Tricky Dicky (comics)

Tricky Dicky (comics)

Tricky Dicky was a fictional character in a comic strip in the UK comic The Topper. Drawn by John Dallas, Dicky used to play practical jokes on people, but they usually managed to get the last laugh. From 1979 to 1986 he was the cover star of the comic, succeeding Danny's Tranny and preceding Beryl the Peril.

From 1999 to 2000 he re-appeared as a 'Guest Star' in "The Beano", again drawn by Dallas, running against The Three Bears, Inspector Horse and Jocky and Gordon Bennett to be voted into the comic by readers, though The Three Bears was the winner. The basic premise of the strip was expanded to include that Dicky's father now owned a joke shop, explaining where he got all these jokes from. In Number 4 Of Beanomax, Tricky Dicky makes a surprise guest one off appearance with a new look trying to trick Ball Boy, but it doesn't work. Tricky Dicky also starred alongside Roger The Dodger in the Beano Summer Special 2002. A character of the same name appeared in the children's TV series ZZZap!
