Hope I'm not stealing his thunder by posting this, but Jamie's just announced the following on a MySpace bulletin:
[quote:8604d566ef]i'm proud to say that following the one-off Dan strip I did in the Dandy t'other week, I'll be the new Desperate Dan artist for a 12 week run.
It's a genuine honour to be drawing a UK comic institution, and a bizarre opportunity for me. For one, there have been incredible artists drawing him for all these years, all of whom i deeply respected and admired their skill. I grew up with them, same as everyone. So I feel a little in awe, bounding in with my own boggly-eyed interpretation and occasional poop jokes.[/quote:8604d566ef]
Excellent news! It's almost enough to get me reading The Dandy every fortnight...
