is the brother of Tasha Slappa. The inspiration of his character is from that of the real-life career criminal, Tommy Laws, who was nicknamed Spiderboy by the police and the media due to his habitual climbing onto roofs and high places in order to evade capture. Most of his adventures involve breaking and entering, vandalising a place and taking anything of value, then usually either evading the law, or getting off very lightly. When arrested at one house which he ransacked he is sent on a "self-esteem building for young offenders" programme, which turns out to be a holiday in Spain. After another crime spree, he is put on trial by remote TV link to a detention cell (intended to be less traumatic than a courtroom trial); the kindly judge allows him to go free, whilst Rat Boy has already escaped through a sewer, somehow taking the TV with him, and is busy selling it as a stolen good. He was once subject to house arrest, enforced by electronic tagging on his ankle - unable to remove the tag, he gnaws his own leg off (like a real rat would) and hops outside to quickly rob several more houses. (Needless to say, his loss of limb is forgotten in subsequent comics.) He even once managed to steal the Crown Jewels. In another episode he stole an old cruise ship used as a floating nightclub off the Newcastle coast and abandoned it (burnt-out and balanced on bricks, like a stolen car) in Amsterdam, where he got arrested for seeking drugs and underage sex. His punishment, ironically, was to be used as a lab rat in a drugs testing clinic, which he found delightful... Ravy Davey Gravy – a young man into rave culture who breaks out into strange dances whenever he hears any kind of repetitive everyday noises, including car alarms and road drills, and even, at one point, a friend who had consumed an obviously badly-made Spanish Paella, defecating with considerable noise! His name possibly derives from Wavy Gravy. Raymond Porter and his Bucket of Water – a boy who carries around a bucket of water which he uses to solve all sorts of problems. It appeared only in early episodes of the comic and may have been shelved to make way for the similarly themed "Felix and his Amazing Underpants". Raymond the Large Caterpillar – A one off strip
