MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1956*. Stopped in 1998 after 9 issues.

This is an erratically published annual magazine containing numerous short stories featuring the title character. His best friend is a black, wire-haired dog called Gnasher (first published in 1968).

The series must not be confused with the American series by the same title, although the characters are both youngsters with a tendency to stir up the lives of the characters in their surroundings, with the character on this page as the more menacing. Interestingly, both title characters premiered independently of each other and at the same time in March 1951.

* The character was first published in 1951 and has since been part of several other series.
