Is it really accurate to call Cheeky Wal's "On again off again girlfriend"? To my recollection the only time they actually broke up/stopped seeing each other was right at the end (as detailed here when she goes off with the stripper) |

Toughest character
Always a constant discussion point in our school of who was the toughest character. I always went for my favourite, Horse. Only real competition was Major. They had a fight once but can't remember the outcome. One guy had a good idea... Pew! Possibly right techically. I think I remember him swooping down and plucking Horse's whiskers occasionally. Just as bloody minded as eachother.
- Hey, how about Irish's "pigs" (more like boars)? They killed and ate a fair-sized shark without working up a sweat. Though they're not a single character, they sure as hell were tough. --Deathphoenix 12:31, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- As I recall, in one book (#5?) the intro pages set the stage for a showdown between Horse and Major. Who was going to win? Then on the last page they both simply beat up the Dog. I got the impression that, like Dog's name, Murray Ball never wants us to know who's the toughest on the farm. --Jquarry 00:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
This page could use some touching up ... there are examples of obviously opinionative conclusions; i.e the dog loves cousin kathy because of "her good cooking" ... I'll do some minor edits now. Oh and horse wins by far. 211.28.188.176 09:16, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
The dog's name
I thought the dogs secret name was "diddums". can anyone confirm?
- The dog's name was never revealed. You can think of it as any name you like; you have as much chance of being right as anyone else.-gadfium 08:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
I thought that the dog's name was Diogenes. After all, he's a philosopher, a bit of a cynic, and lives in a water tank. Diogenes was a philosopher who founded the Cynics and lived in a barrel. And the copyright of the strips is "Diogenes Designs", which was a big clue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.77.23.173 (talk) 18:24, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
Theme Park
Does anyone here know much about the theme park? I remember visiting it in Auckland when I was 5 or 6. I remember it having a carousel, a small steel roller coaster, a motorbikes flat ride, a pool, and a gondola ride. If anyone has more information, I would like to try and write an article about it. --WillMcC 16:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- You remember as much as I do, although I was considerably older when I visited it. It was on the Te Atatu Peninsula. I've been told that there's very little information about it available online (not surprisingly, since it predated the internet). I imagine a good starting point would be to talk to (or email) librarians at the closest public library to Te Atatu to see if there are local histories which might mention it.-gadfium 19:09, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Cheeky
Is it really accurate to call Cheeky Wal's "On again off again girlfriend"? To my recollection the only time they actually broke up/stopped seeing each other was right at the end (as detailed here when she goes off with the stripper) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.213.149 (talk) 19:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
