Swopper Stan is a character in long-running British children's comic 'Cor!!'.

Stan couldn't resist swopping everything and anything he could ever lay his hands on. He'd swop the smallest, most innocent thing for something bigger and better, swop that for something else, and swop again. Which meant that, by the end of the strip, he'd usually find himself with something far more ungainly, outsized, or off-kilter than his original item.

All these swops caused mayhem in his parent's house, and frequently, mass destruction of various people's property...

You could never buy this lad a decent birthday or Christmas pressie, 'cos you knew he'd only go and swop it.
