You lot are having a right laugh at us nerds arnt you! Leading us on with logos and watching us squabbling over who's in or not! Ha ha ha. It would be great if the public had a similar level of excitement and the kids enjoy this comic as much as I enjoyed the Dandy as a kid. Oh whilst I'm cluttering this up, here's my character wish list, who I want in it, bully beef and chips, dan, bananaman, jocks and the geordies, cuddles and dimples, brassneck, well they were my favs as a kid. Stick them all in and I will buy two copies :)

We're ALL nerds here Steve. :) I think those of us lucky to be working on this comic are very pleased that it's generating such positive interest. :up:

He doesn't mean he'll buy two copies of each issue, though. He means he'll buy two copies over the next year.

Nigel's latest tease on his blog he uses in caps double nothing..
HOW excited you may be feeling about this new Dandy, my guess is that it will be NOTHING compared to how excited you will be when you actually hold it in your hands and DOUBLE NOTHING compared to how excited everyone involved is!
So, let's see what happens tomorrow!


Is the Dandy going to be in two parts..new and classics..
or twice as thick..

Bah! You have seen through my cunning plan! I have actually only bought the Dandy a few times since it became Xtreme, Once recently when they were giving away the 'My On Genie' comic. I do still get the Beano when I can (I do not subscribe) because it is so full of comics by some of the best people working today. Even with the Viz (which I get every one of) I read the comics first, then the articles although people talk to tend to only get it for the articles. So if they fill the Dandy with comics I will be picking up a copy (or two) :lol:
