Desperate Dan explodes

Post by suebutcher »

I've just remembered a Desperate Dan story where Danny and Katey put gunpowder in his gloves, causing an opera house to explode in a comical fashion when Dan applauds a singer. I think it was in the Annual, late Sixties or early Seventies. Anyone know where and when this one appeared?

Hmmm...I do remember this story and think its possibly from a mid 1990s comic? From what I can recall, Dan has to wear padded gloves as he claps too loudly?

That's the gist of it, but I'm sure I read it circa 1970. Perhaps it was reprinted in the 90s?
