Wee Peem was a British comic strip character in The Beano, first written and designed by James Jewell.

Peem debuted in Wee Peem (He's a Proper Scream) in The Beano's first issue[Note 1][4] with Lord Snooty and His Pals, Helpful Henry, Morgyn the Mighty, The Adventures of Tom Thumb, and Big Eggo.

[5] The Beano magazine contained two types of children's fiction: comic strips and adventure prose stories; Wee Peem was the former, inspired by the funny pages of American newspapers.

[5] When it ended in issue 89,[6] DC Thomson reprinted some of the Wee Peem strips in The People's Journal, along with some new stories by James Malcolm.

[11] In 1956, the Wee Peem strip got rebooted by Hugh Morren[12] for 51 stories between issues 714 and 765.
