Rider – A 14-year-old perpetual truant yob whose attempts to cause trouble in his community usually end up with him looking ridiculous. For example, he twocs a car, looks in the rear-view mirror, and expresses delight that the police are chasing him already; in the next frame it is revealed that both Roy's car and the "pursuing" police car are models on a fairground ride, from which Roy is summarily ejected by the operator. Roy Wood is Watching - So far two strips have appeared under this grim title, which is a spoof of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. Roy Wood is featured on a poster, rather like 1984 poster, with the title atop it. A telemarketer is featured undergoing impossible situations. Not actually evil, but impossible.

Ruby Mary and her Arse of Fire – A strip about a girl who eats too much Indian food. Rude Kid – one-frame strip where a young boy answers the most polite request with a rude word or phrase, such as his mother saying "Are you looking forward to the Eurovision Song Contest, son?" and he replies with "Granny's pubes, y'whore!".

Saint Bernard Manning – A one off strip depicting comedian Bernard Manning as a dog who tells jokes instead of saving a mountain climber. Sam, Son of Man – a young boy who believes himself to be the second (or third) coming and moves in a mysterious way. Sammy and his Stammer – A strip from the early 1980s issues of Viz (and later featured in The Big Hard One annual) in which the titular character has a speech impediment and ends the strip by swearing. The Scaffolders Were Bastards – a group of construction workers who solicit an old lady for a contract to renovate the front of her beautiful thatched cottage; but when they get the job are extremely rude, aggressive and deliberately careless in their work, further adding to the cost. The strip ends with the house collapsing because of their negligence. The Scandi-Noir Adventures of ABBA - A strip about the members of ABBA investigating the disappearance of
