Sure, I'll grab one tomorrow - with the amount of your stuff in there, I'll expect you've already seen about 80% of it!

Was it a straight reprint of a recent issue or a mixture of stuff from various sources?

No reprints whatsoever. All new material, and the Dennis strip continues into this week's Beano, so an essential issue really.

Although Bananaman was filler. Caption on the first frame, otherwise nothing to do with the rest of the comic ;)

From the style, I think the lot was written by Nigel Auchterlounie.

If you've missed the paper version it's available on the iOS Beano app for free not sure about the Android version though as I don't own any Android devices

Yes that's right. I wrote the scripts for Dennis, Minnie, Billy, Roger, Calamity, Bananaman, Nums, Bash street and tricky. :) Phew!
