It's funny really, they have two licensed strips now, which would've seemed odd a few years ago, but they actually had a licensed strip right at the beginning - Our Gang was a series of MGM films.
I think they had one for a while back I'm the 90s when I started reading The Dandy. It was based on a kids cartoon at the time called Potsworth & Co I think.

Please tell me if I'm wrong. :lol:
That was in Beezer and Topper in 1992-3. When that comic folded, it moved to The Dandy for another year. It was also in the 1994 Beezer and Topper annuals.

Tootuff was a cartoon CITV was airing, and yes, the Dandy did run the comic strip that cartoon was based on, in 2004 after that year's revamp.

Hotfoot was very shortlived. Like the current licensed strips The Bogies and Harry Hill, Tootuff and Hotfoot never appeared in the annuals.

Thought it was it was just such a long time ago that I couldn't properly remember.

I forgot about Tootuff. That one was unique because it wasn't actually drawn at the time, it was adapted from a French comic.
