Creighton the Cretin

 

Creighton the Cretin is a comic written by Greg after he quit Zoo-Wee Mama. The Teachers accepted it and it was put into the School Newspaper, but Mr. Ira changed its name to Creighton The Curious Student and used it to advertise the school library. In Rodrick Rules, the Comic Artist job was open since Rowley wanted to retire to play with his Dinoblazer Action Figure. Greg wrote this comic again to send it to the school newspaper. It's unknown whether he got selected or not.

Personality of the Character Creighton
Creighton is a completely idiotic kid that is ignorant of almost everything and falls into easy jokes to make him look cool. However, people don't think he's cool.

Creighton's Appearance
He is thin, he has only five sprouts of hair, has big round eyes and has two buck teeth sticking out of his mouth. He also has large ears and a tremendous head.

Spin-offs in Wimpy Kid series
Several Creighton spin-offs were in the Wimpy Kid series along with the original strip.

Creighton the Curious Student
This was Mr. Ira's "minor edit" to the strip, which turned Creighton into an inquisitive student asking his teacher about math problems.Greg Said in the original, Creighton is taking a math test and he accidentally eats it and the teacher yells at him for being such a fool.This is was mainly an ad for the school's library, this made Greg quit as a cartoonist as it made him look like the teacher's pet. Mr. Ira likely made the edits due to material being considered to offensive for school.

Creighton the Comedian
This appears in the Do-It-Yourself book. Creighton is a comedian who tries to make people laugh but keeps messing up the jokes and the audience boo him off the stage. His three jokes were, one was a knock-knock joke and when person said "knock-knock" he would say "Creighton is here", his second joke was the "Why did the chicken cross the road?" but he said he muffed it up and one was a wacky headlines but it was of tragic news like a man getting eaten by alligator, a homeless shelter burning down and a plane crash killing seven people.

Creighton the Dinosaur
Creighton is performing in a dinosaur costume in front of little kids. They want him to sing a song to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Creighton, however, sings an offensive song, and the kids hate it and hit him. The Song: You should smell this costume's feet, I ain't washed it in six weeks. Which made the kids angry.
