Roger the Dodger

Roger Dawson, nicknamed Roger the Dodger, is the main titular protagonist of the comic strip of the same name from the British anthology comic magazine The Beano. He first appeared in issue 561. (dated 18th April 1953) His strip consists solely of Roger's basic remit to avoid doing chores and homework which usually involves him concocting complex and ultimately disastrous plans, the undoing of which results in him being punished (usually by his long-suffering father). To perform these tasks he enlists the help of his many 'dodge books'.
==Personality==
Roger is a ten-year-old schoolboy who is crafty-looking who sports a red-and-black chequered jersey with a white shirt collar poking out. He is also usually attired in a white tie, however, the Barrie Appleby strips dropped this around 2005. Upon his debut, Roger sported the usual schoolboy shorts, however he began wearing trousers during the 1970s.
Roger, unlike most Beano characters, does not go out of his way to cause chaos and mayhem. Instead, he chooses to watch from the sidelines, dodging responsibilities and punishments.
==Trivia==
*His main colours are red and black.
