ARRRRRR!!!!!!! Pirates of the Caribeano!

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this weeks Beano MORE than the Dandy (for the first time since the Dandy revamp)! Maybe it was Barrie Appleby's amazing Dennis the Menace artwork, or Ken H. Harrison's Minnie the Minx (with the striped background, or even the 50's "As the bell rings stories"! Another enjoyable bit is a whole page of Gnasher! A bit like Gnasher's Tale, Gnasher bit(e) shows a story from his point of view, and this week with quite a funny ending! An amazing way to finish off the comic. I enjoyed all of these, but of course, a brilliant comic always has a down-side.

First of all, I didn't quite understand the Ratz story, but never mind. The artwork was good. Also, with the Bash street Kids pullout, it isn't a pull-out. It just isnt. Just because you've got readers drawings on page 15 and jokes on page 18, does not make it a pull-out. It's been on the centre pages for years and so technically it's always been a pull-out. Freds foul facts (which I find is ok) and Roger's Dodge Diary (possibly a modern day version of Roger's Dodge Clinic) aren't going down well with the readers. Maybe Sterling will replace them with something else, maybe even a new character! Who knows? On the other hand this weeks Dandy was good, but some parts were boring and pointless. Ok, so Kid Cops, Justin Beaver and George vs Dragon were good, I found that the Supervision Song contest voting cards and Eurovision Wrong contest were boooooooring! Bananaman wasn't brilliant this week either.


I think I'll just leave it at that.


Ok, I'm going to start blogging normally again as from my next blog, which will be a review on The Beano 3D Annual.

This weeks Dandy #3529

Dandy #3529 is out now pals, and as usual it's £1.50! Unfortunatly, after a two week break, Harry Hill is on the cover again. His joke here is so old and corny, crocodile - snap, geddit!?!? This week is your last chance to vote for a new character. If you're reading this, you probably have internet access, so head on over to http://www.dandy.com/ to vote now! If you don't have internet access, then, erm... how did you get this? ( Vote for Harry's Hippo or daredevil dad!)



Lew Stringer's Kid Cops are back! (Shouldn't it be Kid Kops?) Grassy Noel is cool, but only appears three times in this issue! (Save for the title box...) No news on Postie Prat though, maybe a couple of months. Andy Fanton's Grampire and Justin Beaver start in this issue as well. Justin Beaver is written and drawn by Stu Munro. Here's a box from the first story:

Overall, I quite enjoyed this issue, with Korky the kat in a dustbin in the last panel of Justin Beaver and Desperate Dan moving the town instead of his chair, but there could be one or two improvments.

1.Harry Hill on the cover? I don't think so. Maybe they should put a comic strip there (good to see they've put one on the back cover) or a different comic character.

2.The colouring on Justin beaver isn't exactly to die for, wonder how he did it...

And finally, why is there TWO bananaman strips this week? Didn't they want to make the story go into a third week. It's a good thing to do that, it would make kids (and adults) want to buy it.


Although I already knew, next weeks issue is a 44 page bumber special and comes with some gnashing teeth (and it's only £1 more!). I'm looking foreward to Space Dogz as well.
