In an issue from 2000 i've got, in the Bea strip, when Walter was looking at the computer, Bea asked him "Whassat? Lemme on if it's Robbie Williams topless photos". It sounded awful strange coming from a Beano character! Have you seen instances like this in any issue you've got?

I dont have any comics from 2000 but issue number?

No, but I'm sure you can relax. At least she didn't want to see his carrot and peas.

That's not even funny.

Well it certainly is from where I'm sitting. I'm quite surprised you haven't spotted it actually because it's picking up a motif of your own that you consider funny so I had assumed that you would easily be able to relate to the connection.

Somebody once sent in a heavily-cropped picture to Viz that showed a boy getting something long, rounded and pale-coloured shoved in his mouth with a speech bubble saying "Let's see how you like it!".

I suppose that could have been an unripe carrot. It might have put Bea off the vegetable for life if she'd seen it at such a tender age.

In the 2001 Bash Street Kids annual, Plug, Wilfrid, Smiffy (!), Fatty, Spotty, Danny and Sidney of the normally tough BSK crewfall in love with a reserve teacher. They're so smitten they offer to clean the board and do long division, while Toots, the only girl of course, is very annoyed at this. It ends up with them all annoyed because she's going to get married. Next day, Toots is so happy to see Teacher back that she offers to do sums. I am annoyed by this story cos it seems out-of-character, soppy, and ridiculous. It was the only time i thought Toots was the best of the bunch.

Ernest used to constantly stalk Daisy

Hate to bump a thread (Okay, that's probably a lie), but...

I remember a mid-90's dandy cover where Desperate Dan mentions that he has to follow Cactusman's orders, or "He won't give him his willie back". Boy, that would have ruined a few childhoods. I forget what this willie thing is, I'm guessing it was some sort of lucky charm or teddy or something. (This was during the time where Desperate Dan gradually began to become gradually more... Stupid, for want of a better term, which carried on into the 2000's)

I remember in the 2005 Dennis the Menace annual where Dennis, Gnasher and Walter are taking a hike, where walter sings this song about how he loves skipping merrily or something like that, where Dennis just replies with "That's a lot of bull, Walter" which Walter replies with "It is not! I love skipping merrily.." or whatever, but it turns out that Dennis is talking about an actual bull.
