Template:About-distinguish-textTemplate:More citations needed Template:Use dmy dates Tricky Dicky was a British comic strip which originally ran in the British comics magazine Cor!!.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref> It debuted in 1970, drawn by Cyril Gwyn Price (1905-1970). It ran until September 29, 1973. After Price's death other comic strip artists continued the series.
ConceptEdit
Similar to Roger the Dodger in The Beano, the strip was about a boy of the same name (Dicky), who would 'trick' his way out of things like washing the car or carrying heavy cases.<ref name=":0" /> His motto was, "I can get out of anything".<ref name=":0" /><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Unlike Roger, however, his schemes would usually backfire on him. Dicky was a blond boy with a large quiff, who was a teenage boy during his first appearances, but gradually was remodelled into a younger boy as the series went on.
Similarities with other comicsEdit
There is another British comic strip called Tricky Dicky. It also features a young British boy who enjoys playing tricks on others that backfire on him, but it is a completely different character. This particular boy has black spiky hair.
