Sweeny Toddler
-
Sweeny Toddler (a play on Sweeney Todd), also known as Help! It’s Sweeny Toddler, was a fictional character and comic strip in, originally, the UK comic Shiver and Shake, first appearing in issue 1, dated 10 March 1973 in the “Shiver” section.
Originally drawn by Leo Baxendale, Sweeny was a two-year-old ‘toddler from hell’. With his pet dog Henry, he caused sheer havoc around town, the outcome of which would usually involve being caught by his parents and punished with the slipper. Tom Paterson took over from Baxendale quite early on, Paterson becoming easily the most famous and longest running artist to draw the strip.
Always a popular character, Sweeny survived Shiver and Shake’s merger with Whoopee! in 1974. The early 1980s saw Graham Exton become the writer, and in 1984 (issue dated 7 April) Sweeny became the cover star of Whoopee! for a second time (after being replaced by Snack-Man for a short period). When Whoopee merged with Whizzer and Chips in 1985, the first merged issue featured Sweeny hijacking several of the pages asking when his strip was going to appear. When it finally appeared on the back page, he said that “Rotten ol’ Ed will pay for this”, managing to work his way back onto the cover from the next issue, and becoming a Whizz-Kid.
Before the demise of Whizzer and Chips, Tom Paterson left Fleetway in favour of DC Thomson. Graham Exton would take over artistic duties as well as writing.
Sweeny also managed to survive the merger with Buster in 1990. As with all strips by the end, around this time it became a reprint, and continued being so until the comic’s last issue at the beginning of 2000. As with several other Buster strips, it was included on the last page of the final issue (How It All Ends), drawn by Jack Edward Oliver. Explaining what eventually happened to all these characters, Sweeny was seen saying that he now likes everyone, and that “me going to be nice to everyone from now on”.
haha, you said “strip”.
retarded!
Teach him a funnier word, like “choad.”
Douchewrangle.
That’s good. Gotta teach young kids some long words.
What’s a douchewrangle?
You mean “chode”
Sorry, Selkceb. It’s actually “choad.”
Oh snap!
heh, mine asked me yesterday “do you love boobies?”
I hope you responded with “are you breathing?”
if he had asked that of my husband, that would have been my response. as it was i just laughed and stuttered a lot.
You don’t love your own boobies?
*has a sad for you*
not nearly often enough.
Just thought I’d let you know that you have the best name ever.
Did Todd manage to actually score once, four years ago?
my friend taught her niece to say “butt pirate”
Daddy butt pirate? OMG. LOL.
It’s funny with any pro sports team. Say these out loud: butt raiders, butt dolphins, butt cardinals, butt steelers, butt angels, butt kings, butt-caneers, butt giants, butt mariners…but my favorite is butt jazz.
How is nipplee a swear? It’s just a body part.
PENISally yours, Alice
Who called it “a swear”?
Why does he want the 4 year old to stop saying it then?
PENISfully yours, Alice.
Because any word said repeatedly gets annoying?
That and just because it’s not a swear doesn’t mean it’s appropriate in public for a young child to be saying?
Quite frankly, I wouldn’t want a young child of mine saying words like ‘vulva’ or ‘labia’ in public (or when company is over…).
For a while my friend’s two-year-old was obsessed with clocks, and shouted “Clock!” every time he saw something that looked like a clock face, including the design on my T-shirt.
Now if only he could’ve pronounced the “L”……
Ahaha, he’ll probably get a laugh out of that when he’s older.
When I was doing my grocery shopping the other day, a little kid planted his feet in the middle of the aisle and yelled ‘Feeeeeceees!’
I think he wins.
i taught my 1 yr old cousin to say truck when my nan comes in the room! you can probably guess what happens….XD
My 2 year old daughter called me a poon the other day. lol.
