The other day I thought to myself that I ought to buy the last few Dandys. I haven't bought a new one in years but picked one up at WHSmiths and was surprised how good it was. I know recenlty is been some what childish with some of the subjects brought up, but I really enjoyed the comic and excited for the next ones. Have to say it really made me laugh as well as the George vs the Dragon that was great. Im sad that I didn't see them sooner.

My local Tesco didn't have the Dandy this week and it looks like they have removed the shelf label to show where it should be placed.

[Digifiend]

Couldn't wait another month eh, Tesco?

[dandy mad]

Non of the big supermarkets stock the Dandy anymore in my hometown

[Digifiend]

It's daft. Why stop selling it now? There's only five issues left anyway.

[Gilly]

So far the shops are still regularly stocking The Dandy round here (Rotherham) and I hope that continues to the end.

I have a question though will The last Dandy go on sale in the last week of November or on the week of December 4th.

[SID]

Oh well. Tomorrow will be the First of November and The Dandy's last full month.

[Digifiend]

Yeah. The countdown says 33 days 14 hours 48 minutes to go. Doesn't seem like long ago that the days number was three figures.

[Gilly]

That Dandy and Beano secret better be good, I need something to cheer me up after reading the last 2 posts now.

[Spencer]

Well, Gilly...

Hopefully this will cheer you up a little?

The Cartoon Museum in London are currently running an exhibition until 24th December about 75 years of the Dandy and in the promotional material on their website it states:

"The exhibition will include some exclusive material from the new Dandy currently in development, which will combine some favourites from the comic’s great heritage with new material specially created for today’s younger generation."


Sounds interesting! The old codger in me though would still prefer the ability to hold a tangible product though. Subscribed to Aces Weekly and, although a lot of the stories are a good read, it doesnt seem the same reading it on the laptop


Wonder if there's a chance at all of giving an additional print option to "subscribers only"?

[Digifiend]

I just hope it'll be readable on a PC. If it's iPad or eBook only, then I'm out by force due to not owning those devices. I agree with you though, you can't beat a proper paper copy in your hands. Same goes for books.

That is what I am hoping for as well, there's definitely got to be more people than us out there that would prefer to own it in print.

As for the rest of The new Dandy, it sounds interesting and I'm glad they are looking at different ways to keep it alive and interesting to the new generation rather than letting it disappear forever.

Thanks for the heads up Spencer.
