I have read a lot of Beanos from the 80's and 90's (as well as a few from late 70's), so it's quite possible that many will be stories I have already read.
Beano Christmas Special
The Neds is new. So is the cover. And the Gnasher Growler pages.
Beano Christmas Special
I can't see the Christmas Special in the shops, only the issue dated 16th December 2006, at ?1.97 and that doesn't contain a lot of stories, mostly one large one.

The Christmas Special has been out for a few weeks now. That may be why.

Beano Christmas Special
Loved the poster in the Beano Max Christmas special......Nigel
Great to see old characters mixing with new.....
Your Snitchy and Snatchy looked a bit Cuddles and Dimples which is great...because they were the original!
The Ball boy joke made me laugh...
I could see you drawing the 3 Bears again......
or Big Eggo and Biffo
Anyway a top poster.....
I spotted Pinky Crackpot circus...
