r/Beano

An overdue update to my guide to collecting Beano and Dandy calendars. I've found lots of examples but I bet there are more out there still to be found.

So, I had to rant about this. I already did post a earlier rant about this but I felt that I sounded too overreacting, which led me feeling like a freak..I deleted it. But I don’t want to be silent about it because it’s not okay. So anyway.. where I might start?

I’m really not happy with this. in fact, i’m so upset. It‘s NOT A JOKE, It’s a SCENARIO, idiot. I’m officially done with you dumbasses. this drawing even doesn’t mean be a joke or a meme. And you treated it like a joke and this person call my drawing as “this thing”..what the hell? Why you‘d do that to me?

You reposted my drawing in r/ExplainTheJoke without my consent. You even didn’t even credit me or asked me; which shattered my heart to see that my art reposted and gained 541 upvotes..that’s much more than my average upvote count. i even read the comments and it made my mental health worse…my heart sank deeper. I feel so worthless now. I nearly have a mental breakdown because of this.

This is very disrespectful to do that to an artist. this is not okay.

I spent hours on creating artwork and what now? You treats me like fucking trash, I deleted my old account because of you guys. I received this kind of comments from you like..

”Who is she?” “Canadian Dennis?” “Denise” “Who is that girl?” Did you even read the comics and heard the word “headcanon“ before? I had seen repeated comments it made me so angry. I’m so tired of this. I felt so discouraged that nobody in the subreddit really cared about my artwork, I believe. I’m sorry if I sounded rude, but reality is that I’m so tired of this, I got so disrespected from the subreddit. My heart is broken.

Enough with ranting, Please be more respectful and kind to artists. I’m not leaving Reddit, I’ll still post my art here. But I had settled some new boundaries, including no reposting my art or leaving dumb comments. If you still do these to me, then I’ll block you immediately.

I hope you had understood everything I’ve said. Thanks you.

I had a headcanon about Toots like wearing heelys, she often skate when she’s bored.

Does anybody have a certificate like this? I never got the furry badges or anything else but I do have this amongst my prize possessions

Edit *spelling .

Any kids from the 2000s remember growing up with this hanging on their wall?

Wouldn’t it make for a fantastic jigsaw puzzle?

I can’t help but feel that Edd (Numbskulls), who is on all fours, should have been Les Pretend, who is oddly not present.

No Crazy for Daisy either, who were a mainstay in the comic at the time.

Simple art but I like it yeah

the full image is so that i've a reference for recreating it

Who is this character?

She appears in multiple Comic Libraries. However, I'm unable to establish whether she actually had a strip in the Beano. She has a gimmick that would lend itself well to having her own strip, even if it was only short-lived. I can't find much information about her online, so either she only existed in the Comic Libraries and never appeared in the comic itself, or she's a forgotten side character like Nervous Rex, Techno, or Crafty Colin (please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers these)

Also the main Beano toon characters would be Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, Gnasher (the heroes) and the toon villains would be Walter and Wilbur

As for the human characters, one would be a young British lad and a British Japanese girl. Also the main human villain would be played by either Ben Kingsley, David Walliams or...I don't know you choose.
