Beano - new direction? *** locked ***

Just received by subscriber copy this morning... It seems to me that last weeks 75th anniversary disguised a mini-relaunch of the Beano. How to describe it.... It's very Dandy. I've changed the font colour if you want to wait to see it yourself. Lots of celebrities and varying artwork styles. There'...

Re: The Beano 75 years issue whats inside...its guessing tim

With an inside back cover invite to the 75th celebration. Really looking forward to next week. I think I have my 50th anniv...

Anyone know what's happening on August 27th?

Seen this on Nigel Parkinson's blog?

Anyone know what's happening on the 27th August.

It's not to do with 2014 Annuals or Beano 75th.

Minnie the Minx laugh

Just reading the Beano All Stars in BeanoMax, Minnie the Minx laugh is written as 'Hyuk-Hyuk' -
Has she always had this style laugh? I don't remember it from when I was younger. I'm sure I recall another character having a Hyuk-Hyuk laugh.

Beano 2013

What can we expect from The Beano in 2013?
Do you think Desperate Dan or any other Dandy characters might make the move over? - A more relaxed style like the Dandy? - Closure of BeanoMax?

Desperate Dan Surfin' Cowboy ??

I've just just returned from spending a good chunk of Saturday at the Cartoon Museum in London. A quirky little place definitely worth a visit especially at the moment to see original Dandy artwork. The Dudley D Watkins drawings are simply stunning. It's great to see the detail up close and original...

Re: Digital Dandy

Sadly it doesn't work very well on my iPhone. Really slow and buggy.
Was hoping for more comic strips.

Yes I know I'm not the target audience but I doubt a kid would have the patience to wait for the comic strips to animate.

History in our hands. The final print Dandy has arrived.

It's here. 75 years of print history ended in my household this morning as the final print edition of The Dandy arrived on my doormat. Mixed feelings, end of an era, happy to have it but sad it's ending. I've flicked through it. It looks amazing. Surprised at the Top 75 strips - though you won't be ...
