''Whizzer and Chips'' was a {{British comic|s}} which first started in 1969. The comic ran until 1990 when it [[ComicsMerger merged]] with a comic called ''ComicBook/{{Buster}}'' (a spin off of sorts of AndyCapp). It was similiar in style to ''TheBeano'' and ''ComicBook/TheDandy'' and was a direct competitor to the two being published by a different publisher ''Fleetway'' as opposed to ''TheBeano'' and ''ComicBook/TheDandy'' which were published by ''Creator/DCThomson''. The comic's gimmik was that it was two comics in one, one called ''Whizzer'' and the other called ''Chips'' which was a pull-out section. These comics were supposedly rivals with so called raids (which involved characters from one comic entering the other) between the two being a common occurrence, readers were encouraged to become Whizz-kids or Chip-ites (this referred to which comic they supported) and each comic had a different leader Sid from a strip called [[ABoyAndHisX Sid's Snake]] for Whizzer and Shiner for Chips.

It incorporated many, many other comics in mergers over the years and finally merged with ''Buster'', but in any case the distinctions were unclear at any point because Fleetway would publish compilations drawing on strips from all their comics put together and would reprint strips which debuted in other comics. Therefore, not all the strips mentioned below will necessarily have appeared under the original title.
