On this day 75 years ago #Beano introduced us to an innocent little lad going for a walk with his dad in the park. Oh, and his name was Dennis! Come and take a look at the 1951 issue that gave birth to a true comics legend. 👦🏻😜🐽

THE DANDY AND THE BEANO: 38 YEARS OF FiFTY GOLDEN YEARS Back in 1987 two things happened in the build up to Christmas. Firstly, my older brother grew out of comics and his weekly Beano. However, The Dandy and The Beano Fifty Golden Years had already bee…

Almost 40 years ago The Dandy & #Beano celebrated their 50th anniversary with a huge book telling their stories. Since I’ve started reading classic Beanos on the blog I thought I’d revisit this for the first time since Christmas 1987! Check it out on the blog. 😜🤣🐽 #bemorebeano #sobeano #comicsky

BEANO CHRiSTMAS SPECiAL 2025: TiME FOR FUN Dare I say it but could this year’s Beano Christmas Special actually top last year’s? One glance at the supposed author name along the bottom of the cover almost had me convinced before I even open…

87(!) years ago today #Beano no.1 appeared! 7 years ago #DCThomson included a reproduction in their 80th Anniversary Set alongside 7 other issues, one from each decade. I’ll be reading each on their own anniversaries, beginning with no.1, today. It’s up on the OiNK Blog now. 🐣🐽 #sobeano #welovebeano
