Thanks. Shouldn't that just be Senor the same as Craig then? Senora is Mrs, Senorita is Miss, Senor is Mr. Anyone with a brain, knowing that Senora is a feminine term, would not have linked it to the name Mark. That's why Harry got confused.

For that matter, technically there are supposed to be tildes above all the 'n's. I don't think the author spoke Spanish.

Given that I now know for a fact that there is a Mark Watson on the Dandy team (or at least was in 2008), I'm inclined to jump to the conclusion of least resistance and assume the 'Senora' was a mistake.
Help! Help! We're being held prisoner in a signature factory!

Whoops, I purely assumed that by Mark - they meant Mark McIlmail, he was the only notable Mark I've heard of in the current comic line-up. So, he has nothing to do with The Dandy? That's news to me!

The Beano has two graphic designers, MMi and one other, covering their two titles between them. I think they would be far too busy to lend any time to the Dandy or WWE Kids, which is also edited by Craig. I have never found out (or asked) whether Michelle and Mark work on WWE Kids as well.

Thanks for clearing that up, Andy. I suppose I just jumped to conclusions. :oops:

Hi chums,

Yes, I work in The Beano and The Beano only. Unless you count the Max. In which case, I work in The Beano and The BeanoMAX only. Unless you count the annual too. In which case I work in The Beano and The BeanoMAX and The Beano Annual. *falls over, out of breath.

There IS another Mark who works in The Dandy. And they have nothing to do with WWE Kids.

Now, if you don't mind, Gnasher has caught a firm grip of my ankle and it's time to shake him off. And to call an ambulance for the staggering amount of blood I'm losing....

Ta'ra!

You're right, someone made a goof with that title panel. Should've used a Comic Library.

I doubt most Dandy readers would have heard of the Beezer or the Dandy Comic Libraries and most would have been born after both had ended. That would be why they had Nuke reading the Dandy.

I had Nuke reading the Dandy because he appears in the Dandy. You really shouldn't apply logic to Nuke!

spoilers...I know you love them..:) you are always asking me on facebook for info.. :)

Some Dandy retro pages Korky and Dan celebrating Coronation 60 years ago..a good development for The Dandy..
Both Beano and Dandy mention 60 years of the Queen and on the covers..The Dandy has Dan has King in the wildwest drawn by Jamie..Beryl the Peril has a royal them,e as well by Steve..
I also like the comic strip you took it too far...by Alexander a great new strip and my kind of humour..

Sounds great Peter but I have a couple of questions, is next weeks Dandy one that is on sale for more than one week? and will it be on sale for 2 or 3 weeks?

I expected it with Spring bank being in a week, I asked because I go away soon and I want to know what to tell the newsagents to save for me while I'm away. :D
