Used to get them both delivered and the xmas annuals were a regular too.

Howmany kids with big ears got named plug in that era because of him.

I loved the Beano, absolutely quality. The little fella gets it now too and laughs his head off at it.

I coordinated an exhibition of illustrations from The Beano through the decades and it was possibly one of the most popular and had the largest number of visitors. It was great that a lot of kids came with their Mams and Dads and that at that time - about 2006 - The Beano was still relevant.

Same, it's probably why I have beard, wear flannel shirts, and eat cow pie.
