Now what am I going to read?

[Snadger]

BBC News - Dandy owner DC Thomson to end comic's printed edition

[cardiffsteve]

The Beano?

[cardiffsteve]

I just read that article, sad news.
There goes another childhood memory

The Beano ?

Damn CS beat me ..........

[cardiffsteve]

Mwahahahahaha!

[Snadger]

I used to put the Beano and the Dandy INSIDE the Topper and only pay for the Topper when I was a kid!

Norty Snadge!

I saw that article too, Snadger. Them were the days - Dandy and Beano every week, think they were 2d each in old money.
Who were your favourite characters?
I like Desperate Dan, of course, Minnie the Minx and Dennis the Menace and I liked Plug,whose head just came out his sweater- can't remember whether he was with Lord Snooty (didn't like him) or the Bash Street kids.
Red Rory of the Eagles always seemed to grown up for me!

How about Viz?
Or the Sun/Star newspapers.

Youngest only used to read Beano/Dandy annuals until Harry Potter put in an appearance........

[Vince G]

got a couple of Dennis the Menace annuals somewhere, used to read them all the time when a kid. They were naughty and a bit un-PC ....halcyon days

[Vince G]

what about 50 Shades Snadger? My father-in-law is loving them........Mrs Vince lent them to her mum, but dad has been caught having a peek on a number of occasions!!!!

Talking about naughty and un-PC I heard today that they are revamping Punch and Judy - no more throwing the baby out or hitting anyone with sticks. Also that the new puppets were going to look like Nick Clegg and Prince Harry......
Where's the fun in that?

I noticed they had copies of 50 shades for sale, in amongst the womens toiletries at Tesco's!

You should have seen the look on the faces of my eldest granddaughters (14 & 15) when I said I might read it. The 14-year old said "Stick to the Hunger Games Nanny, perlease"

[Florence Fennel]

I wonder if a revamp of Dandy and Beano will revive it? To be honest, I didn't think they still published it and I didn't read it in my younger days. I wasn't a fan of Bunty, Judy or Jackie either. I think the only "comic" I regularly took in my teens was "Memo" and that was for Pitman shorthand!
