Laura made her Dandy debut last week, with Not-So-Secret Millionaire. Did you not know?Lew Stringer wrote:You must be looking at an old one Kev. This week's is inside a Christmassy foil bag. Laura's not in The Dandy, and I've been working for Toxic since issue 1 eight years ago. Otherwise you're right.kevf wrote:Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, who's seen this week's Toxic?
- No plastic bag so you can flip through it in the shop
- Harry Hill on the front cover
- Harry Hill comedy pages inside
- Simon Cowell based comedy inside
- and even strips by Lew Stringer, Laura Howell & Nigel Auchterlounie.
Snap!
Not sure. I think it's only on sale for two weeks but I could be mistaken.Digifiend wrote: 76 pages? Wow, I was expecting maybe 48 same as this week's Beano, and certainly not more than 64. Is it on sale for three weeks or something?

Really? Is that right? was there a strip by me in the last issue of Toxic?kevf wrote:Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, who's seen this week's Toxic?

No, just two. And it's £3.99, a "double issue". And there are one or two surprises...Digifiend wrote:76 pages? Wow, I was expecting maybe 48 same as this week's Beano, and certainly not more than 64. Is it on sale for three weeks or something

Thumbed through it in the shop, clearly guessed the artist wrong, and since it was Tuesday it was last week's issue. So, Toxic with no bag and Harry Hill on the cover and Simon Cowell gags inside was nothing like The Dandy, my mistake.Nigel Auchterlounie wrote:

the current issue is bagged with sponge bob on the cover.
It's highly unlikely that it was me, but it's not un-possible.
What was the strip about? I'll tell you if it really was me.
Kev, Toxic has been spoofing celebs for ages and Dandy Xtreme was influenced by Toxic for three years so I think we can put it down to modern trends.kevf wrote:Thumbed through it in the shop, clearly guessed the artist wrong, and since it was Tuesday it was last week's issue.

Wow! Sounds great. I might post this in the buying/selling area too, but would anyone here be so kind as to buy me a copy of this Christmas special when it comes out and post it to Australia? I would have course pay for it all via Paypal. PM me if you can do this.Lew Stringer wrote:Here's something to cheer you up while you wait for this week's Dandy; next week's Christmas issue will have a whopping 76 pages! Biggest issue ever.
