Has the Dandy not suffered enough?

Not yet it hasn't...



Now rest my child.

Just look at that big belly and ridiculous chin. I blame all the pies...

Some great thoughts here from artist Jamie Smart (he of the "manga-influenced angular shapes" and "pages of badly-drawn crap", presumably.)

Cheers, Jack, but I'm not sure the pathos of that article is engendered exclusively by the demise of The Dandy. As with everything Wagner writes, it's pregnant with subtext.

This is truely tragic, decades of publishing excellence and talent about to disappear! :-(

... Can't Rebellion offer a take over bid!? Then we could have Dredd / Dan crossovers!

... Can't Rebellion offer a take over bid!? Then we could have Dredd / Dan crossovers!

This might be my imagination but hasn't that happened already. In the Comic Relief issue or some such?

[Steve Green]

There was something about the biggest chin in comics, then Brucie stepped in... (I think)

[James Stacey]

Yep. Dan, Dredd, Dare and I think banana man. Brucie won.

Those last couple of witty comments regarding chins and crossovers have tickled my funny bone! ... Snigger! Guff! etc.

I hope that if Dandy goes under the Company doesn't do a skip and pulp job on all its wonderful archived artwork (as has happened in the past).

Isnt merging The Dandy with The Beano an option?

[dracula1]

Good idea .... Similar to 2000ad merging with StarLord and Tornado.
