The Beano is now at the price of £1.25. That's a 26p price hike, abnormally high...although I notice better quality colouring and speech, It's still pretty expensive...

There's a topic on this at Comics UK, and I think it's still quite good value.
I like Lew Stringer's new strip.

Don't get me wrong, I'd say it's worth it, but it's still quite sudden.
Lew Stringer's new strip is fantastic, nice little addition.

I've already made the joke about the comics becoming more expensive than the company which publishes them several times, so I'll just say that at least this message board is free.  |

£1.25 now?! That seems a rather sudden jump.

Yeah, it wouldn't be the same if anyone else drew it, even if it was by a true artist! Michaelangelo: Paints Derek on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, surrounded by angels in Heaven. In the corner, God is reading a Beano and laughing heartily. Picasso: Paints a circle eating several rectangles and a triangle. Lowry: Paints Derek six inches tall and one inch wide. Warhol: Paints a can of soup with Derek's face on it. Menaceman: Draws Derek's basic outline, but realises that he has yet another deadline to meet next week! The drawing ends up buried under piles of Uni coursework for many years. |

Financial troubles...Dandy failing....Add them together... *gulp* I sense a black day of comics soon to be approaching. I quite highly doubt DC Thomson to keep the Dandy Xtreme on for sentimental reasons.  Darn, that would have been great. ;D |

There is a Van Gogh version of me around somewhere... let me look... |

That's a MASTERPIECE! I DEMAND it goes into a posh gallery with a solid gold frame and everything.

Derek, this painting must be worth a fortune! It could be auctioned for charity, you know. Van Gogh seems to have painted you with fangs! Maybe he was going through a bad period of his life. Tragic.  Van Gogh: Paints a fanged Derek in a field being attacked by some crows, then flies into a blistering rage and cuts off his ear. |
