Yeah, I figured.

I recognize artist's styles a lot, if I knew what it looked like at the time when I sent this post then I'd of known straight away that is was by Nigel.

I think Dennis would be the last strip in The Beano to go reprint if that happened so nothing to worry about there.

On a more positive note I think this weeks Beano was brilliant I especially loved the return of Number 13.

Has anyone noticed Beano Retro was absent this week has it been dropped?

the two adverts by Nigel have terrible writers..the punchlines are very lacking..

maybe I was missing Beano retro..

It was nice seeing Jim's minnie as a puzzle..

back on topic..
liked the colouring on number 13...is Frankie meant to have a shirt underneath in the last panel..also the witch has a green nose!!

Agreed, the writing is AWFUL! Wenlock and Mandeville isn't funny at all!

Also the colouring on the Gran in Number 13 doesn't doesn't look right at all! I'm not too keen on the colour choice for Boris and his Mum's either, I always thought it was green. :/

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this one yet but anyone notice Ball Boy artist Dave Eastbury spelt his surname wrong?

Dave Estbury? About Retro Beano, it probably got pushed out by the Real Construction advert.

Hee hee! Made me laugh! Can't believe I spotted that, how sad must I be?

I never even spotted that!

One thing we've spotted, though, is that you have reappeared on the forum immediately after comicsgalore's enforced departure. Conspiracy theorists will be out in force. Do you live within 50 miles of Edinburgh by any chance?

Such a true point. I bet when we begin to get suspicious a new account will pop up which just happens to be another spammer from Edinburgh.

Come on folks, it's hardly rocket science. Even the pea & carrot comic strip idea that "both" comicsgalore and yanobandy have suggested is identical! You've been played, and I don't know whether to laugh or cry to see Comics UK used like this.

Although on a personal level I'm pleased that yanobandycomicsgalore likes Postman Prat.

Smile, you're on Candid Camera.

Maybe they both have some sort of Edinburgh telepathy and can both come up with the same terrible ideas.

But, honestly, i'm a nice guy! I do like Postman Prat and i'm sure Kid Cops will be good as well.

That is quite enough.

If you have problems with posters, use the ! button to report them to us, ignore them and get on with proper discussions. Don't get diverted into discussing other users instead of comics.

I am not going to discuss individual users, beyond commenting that we are perfectly aware of users who post in similar ways, and we have enough experience to observe suspicious IP addresses and spot patterns. Duplicate account holders will give themselves away before too long.

Heres how John Geering coloured them....no green nose for Granny..just all of her face a whitey green
