Cheeky's Week - Artists by issue and %

Below is an analysis of the Cheeky's Week content of Cheeky Weekly by issue and artists, showing the number of Cheeky's Week elements contributed by each artist (or combination thereof in the case of Frank McDiarmid pencils), and the percentage contribution each artist made to the issue.

Note how the number of Cheeky's Week elements decreases over the comic's run, no doubt to the relief of Frank McDiarmid and the other artists valiantly coping (and succeeding brilliantly) with the demand to depict a whole week of the toothy funster's doings in each issue.  Early issues have 13 Cheeky's Week elements (and hitting an all-time peak of 14 in the 31 December 1977 Christmas issue, all of which were pure Frank), then dropping to 10 as at revamp 2, and to 9 in summer 1979.

Also the number of artists/combinations thereof collaborating on a single issue peaks in spring 1978, with the 08 April 1978 issue featuring 5 Cheeky's Week contributors, then (with a few exceptions) falls back over the following months. As of the introduction of the second revamp with the issue cover dated 30 September 1978, a policy appears to have been introduced whereby every other issue featured pure Frank McDiarmid Cheeky's Week art, with just a single artist (or collaboration in the case of Frank McDiarmid pencils) contributing the artwork on the alternate weeks, although the rule starts to break down somewhat in early 1979.

Just a reminder that not all the Cheeky's Week elements in an issue filled a whole page - for example, Wednesday (conclusion) was only a single row of panels, as was What A Cheek.

Most recent update: 03 May 2018 - The page 30 conclusion to Saturday in the 17 December 1977 issue (consisting of 2 cut-and-paste panels) had not previously been reflected in the figures below.

Updated 19 June 2016 - 18 Cheeky's Week elements that were previously attributed to Mike Lacey have now been credited to Jimmy Hansen.

Updated 14 February 2016 - reassigned 2 episodes of Snail of the Century from Frank McDiarmid to Barrie Appleby
