Who drew this? Don't recognise the stye at all. Wonder why Minnie was chosen for a statue.

Nice to see..

so the rolled up paper in the statues hand is the first Dandy comic..

Dennis is already popular and well known.....so Minnie was chosen.also its a girl character..
Leo Baxendale drew her..
just my guesses..

The artist is Keith Robson, who also drew Jonah when it was revived several years ago. He also drew a few rather nice Dandy Christmas covers, such as the one here:

His Jonah comic was displayed at the Beano exhibit in dundee, very good! Didn't he do general jumbo also in a few annuals?

He certainly did, and a few Young Black Bobs. He also illustrated a children's guide to Dundee.

Keith Robson, who goes by the name of Rufus I believe, has provided work for Thomsons since certainly the late 1960's (heading blocks etc) as well as stuff for Fleetway. I seem to remember him drawing a strip for Buster titled Yorky Grit in the mid 1970s for example.

all of the annuals from 1990 to 2006 if I'm not mistaken. There was also one strip in the weekly comic, the 60th birthday issue in 1998.

Any idea why the Bellboy is missing from the logo of that No1 Dandy Dan's holding?

Because they are racist... maybe

Keith probably forgot it!

The little black boy Peanut, who appeared on the first Beano logo with his patched dungarees and slice of melon, might certainly be accused of racial stereotyping but the Dandy bellboy I think not.

I was making light of the whole peanut debate Kashgar, obviously Bellboys are not racist... Their sexist
