Well, the Dandy characters are still around in the annual and summer special, even though the latter is reprint.starscape wrote:Getting back to topic, would it be welcomed for the Dandy characters to become part of the Beano? I watched some Karl Pilkington last night where he remarked about Desperate Dan. Given his current nature, it won't be long until he's only known as some weird cowboy statue in Dundee. I see no reason not to have the most iconic characters in one comic now.
Personally I'd like to see The Dandy, or some of its characters, return in an independent comic licensed from DC Thomson. In a similar way that Titan Comics are to publish a new Johnny Red comic with Egmont's permission (and no doubt paying Egmont a licence fee.)
I'm not saying that will happen with The Dandy, or that there's any rumour of it happening. (There isn't.) Pute speculation, but it occurs to me it's one possibility.
