It debuted in 1970, drawn by Cyril Gwyn Price (1905-1970).
After Price's death other comic strip artists continued the series.
Similar to Roger the Dodger in The Beano, the strip was about a boy of the same name (Dicky), who would 'trick' his way out of things like washing the car or carrying heavy cases.
There is another British comic strip called Tricky Dicky.
It also features a young British boy who enjoys playing tricks on others that backfire on him, but it is a completely different character.
