Great new story in the Beano this week, dealing with a subject I know applies to my life! Nice one, Derek! ;D

Hooray! I love it when I turn up in the Beano! You suffer from a big sheep snoring in your house then?

Is it a sheepdog? Is it Pigface? Is it Dad?  (teasing) |

Well, close enough my dad. And Pigface is pretty bad too a lot of the time...But he IS a pig. They're meant to snort, really.

Quick! Don't read this rubbish! Run to the nearest newsagent and buy a copy before they disappear! Ignore any strange looks you may receive from the shop assistant and other customers! Run, Menaceman, run!

Brill story!!
On another, more sad note...
The Dandy has bumped up it's price by 51p. It has now almost doubled in the past year, and more than tripled since the 2004 relaunch.

Previous prices of The Dandy2003: £0.70 2004: £1.20 2007: £1.99 2008: £2.50 Predicted prices of The Dandy, assuming rate of inflation is 25%/year:2009: £3.00 2010: £3.99 2011: £4.99 2012: £5.99 2013: £7.99 2014: £9.50 2015: £11.99 2016: £14.99 2017: £18.50 2018: £24.50 2028: £216.99 2038: £2019.50 2048: £18,807.99 2058: £175,162.50 2068: £1,631,325.99 2078: £15,192,907.99 At this point, it becomes cheaper to buy D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd. themselves than a copy of The Dandy.

This is sad!! Even BeanoMax hasn't had to put its price up that far! It's +2p this next issue. It seems reasonable - i hated getting 2p change from my £2.50 all the time!!
I hope I'm not alive in 2078, Paws! If I am, I'd probably die of shock!

Beano 6 - 5 Dandy
Note that many of the pages in both publications are actually subliminal adverts for films, games, DVDs, toys, overpaid footballers who couldn't get us into Euro 2008 ect. in disguise as "review pages". Also note that most "review scores" are greater than 7/10 or 3/5.
