Wow! It's made the news in Germany, Brazil (three sources), India and Mexico!No tears over digital Dandy
Should we shed tears that The Dandy — after 75 years of cow-pie-related yuks — is ceasing print publication to go digital? I don’t think so, really. It will still exist for those who like that sort of thing (even as a child, I found The Dandy as funny as a fistula). The burst of sentimentality attending its demise will have been the first time its existence impinged on most people in years. Those sad to see it go didn’t feel warmly enough toward the comic to actually buy it.
No doubt the Germans have a word for that category of thing, like The Dandy or poetry, that you don’t actually like but feel other people ought to.
