Oor Wullie

Oor Wullie is a comic strip within The Sunday Post, which is printed by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd and set in Scotland. It features a boy named William (or 'Wullie') and his adventures in his home town, which mostly seem to consist of get-rich-quick schemes and getting up to mischief, to the despair of his parents Ma and Pa, and the local policeman, P.C. Murdoch. His friends are Fat Bob, Wee 'Eck and Soapy Soutar, and he is the leader of their gang, a position which is frequently disputed by the others. He owns a pet mouse named 'Jeemy', and in later years has gained a Highland Terrier named Harry, and a 'sometime-girlfriend', Primrose Patterson. Wullie was created by cartoonist Dudley D. Watkins (1907-1969), and the strip made its first appearance in the issue dated 8 March 1936. Watkins continued to draw it until his death, and Peter Davidson is the current artist, succeeding Ken H. Harrison.
