The Beano (Comic Book)	comment	The Beano is a long-running British children's comic that's been in circulation for over 80 years, having entertained several generations of kids since 1938, making this one hell of a long runner. Published weekly, for over 80 years and with over 4,000 issues, it's famous for iconic strips such as Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, The Bash Street Kids, and is a huge influence in (and a reflection of) British culture. Other iconic strips include Roger the Dodger, Billy Whizz, Biffo the Bear, Big Eggo, Lord Snooty, Ball Boy, Jonah, General Jumbo, Ivy the Terrible, Little Plum, Calamity James, and The Three Bears.A number of Spin-Off comics have been released as well, including: The Beano Annual (which is released every Christmas and continues to sell 100,000+ every year); the monthly BeanoMAX; The Beano Summer Special, a yearly reprint Annual featuring content from both The Beano and The Dandy; Plug comic, a weekly comic which ran from 1977-1979 featuring as its main star one of The Bash Street Kids; and the Beano Comic Libraries, which evolved into the Fun Size Beano. Other spin-offs include a few animated series (some of which were Direct to Video) and video games.The comic is easily the most well-known British Humour Comic and is also the longest-running comic of its genre. It has outlived numerous generations of competitor comics, such as Whizzer and Chips, Film Fun, Smash, and Buster, and continues to introduce new characters and innovate.Its readership peaked in 1950 before the introduction of its most iconic characters, and some consider it to have Jumped the Shark in the mid-'60s when the artists Leo Baxendale and Ken Reid left to draw for DC Thomson's (The Beano's publisher) rivals. However, the comic continued for long after these artists stopped drawing altogether, though the pair were a big influence on the comic.In its long run it has had no official cases of a Comics Merger, but it has absorbed a number of characters from defunct comics such as The Numskulls and Fred's Bed from The Beezer and Bananaman from Nutty and The Dandy.Two Beano home videos have been released, the first in 1993 and a follow-up: Beano Videostars in 1994. Also, an interactive DVD in 2006, which focuses on the characters' attempts to save Bash Street School from closure after TV stars Mr. Cheekychops and Sir Stinksalot's underhand underground scheme.In the 2020s, a series of books called Boomics (Book + Comic) was released. These were written by former editors Mike Stirling and Craig Graham, though the third name credited with them for the first six books, I P Freely, is actually just a pseudonym, as she's really a character the comic introduced to promote the Boomics. The first six stories focus on Dennis and Gnasher, and so have illustrations by his artist Nigel Parkinson. The seventh book is about Minnie the Minx, so the art is by Laura Howell. The eighth is a choose your own adventure format with a manga art style not seen in the comic before.Not to be confused with Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton, often referred to as The Beano Album due to the fact that Clapton can be seen reading an issue of the comic book on the cover.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
The Beano (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: One Crossover comic in the 2008 annual had Billy the Cat face off against General Jumbo, who plots to kill Billy and start a conquest. It turns out that Jumbo was Brainwashed and Crazy thanks to an experimental toy soldier named Private Pike who had a prototype "learning chip" installed in him who modified Jumbo's arm brace with electrodes to control his mind and act as a puppet for Pike's conquest. He's destroyed by his creation after Billy suggested that due to the amount of electricity needed for this, it would fry anything smaller. In the end, Jumbo's back to normal and Pike is destroyed...or is he? The live-action short film adaptation of Calamity James explores how a boy afflicted with disastrous luck might try to cope in real life. In this version, his predicament is the result of a medical condition - acute misfortune syndrome - that can temporarily be passed on to anyone who makes physical contact with him. Like in the comics, James survives horrendous injuries (including being struck by lightning twice in quick succession) without any longterm physical results, but thatâ€™s about the only cartoonish holdover from the comics. James is otherwise presented as a realistic boy having to go through life with no friends and a resentful mother as a result of (and in addition to) constant suffering over which he has next to no control. Thereâ€™s also a lot of bad language that could never be used in The Beano proper. BeanoMAX, which featured (very slightly) more adult storylines and was marketed at a "young adult" audience rather than preteens.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: The Bash Street Kids' full names are very rarely used. A strip in January 2015 had Danny call himself Danny "Deathshead" Morgan, probably for the first time since it was first revealed in a text story in boys story paper The Wizard in the 1950s. Plug's name wasn't revealed in those text stories, and was instead revealed in his own comic in the 1970s. His name, Percival Proudfoot Plugsley, is the only one used often enough for most readers to know it. Cuthbert Cringeworthy is an exception to this. His is the only full name actually revealed in The Beano itself. As of the 2016 revamp, other characters started having their real names revealed too, on the new look website. For example, Roger the Dodger is Roger Dawson. The comic revealed this by referring to his Dad as Mr Dawson. Minnie the Minx's name was revealed to be Hermione Makepeace, but only the surname has actually been used in the comic. Pie-Face's name was actually Keith.

This gets weirder with the fact files on the website, since Danny, Wilfrid, and Toots mention Bones, Manfrid and Peeps, but 'Erbert, Scotty, Freddy, and Smiffy don't mention 'Enry, Blotty, Tubby and Sniffy. Plug says his dog is named Napoleon (not Pug) and Sidney mentions Peeps (since he and Toots share a home) as well as his many other pets, but not Wiggy.

It was well into the 1990s when the father of Dennis the Menace kept his slippers exclusively for wear on his feet, and the long-suffering teacher of the Bash Street Kids hung up his cane for the last time.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_2a6a8e89	comment	In Tricky Dicky, Mr. Throbb is almost universally portrayed as a Sadist Teacher who actively enjoys making life miserable for students (in one strip, he not only confiscates Dicky's phone for using it in the hallway, but he then repeatedly stomps on it while repeatedly asking if he's learned his lesson yet, which would undoubtably get him fired in real life). Some other strips like Bananaman many have him written as a more normal teacher who is just exasperated by his students not paying attention. To put it into perspective, he doesn't even confiscate Eric's manga when he's openly reading it in class.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_2be74be	comment	Sucky School: The school from the Bash Street Kids. One of the cartoon adaptations had the school shut down because of this (it was back by the end of the episode). No one learns, outdated books, falling apart building which has no central heatingnote except when Rule of Funny demands it; the Janitor has been seen stoking an antiquated boiler before now and (wasn't outdated then) Teacher still wearing a mortar board. Most of the pupils don't wear uniform, either (the only one who does is a snobby elitist), and all attempts to get them to do so are farcical. The lack of uniforms was Lampshaded when the kids decided to dress as pirates to reverse global warming (Smiffy's dad's idea). Also of note, the school isn't completely hated. Baby Face Finlayson used the school as an abattoir. Of note, the spoiler is a good reason, it's a rare case of an actual Story Arc. Eventually, the school was demolished by Ant and Dec and the cast were migrated into Dennis's school.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_3a621028	comment	Improvised Imprisonment: One special for the Bash Street Kids involves them discovering an ancient proclamation that declares Beano Town independent of England and whoever finds it the new monarch. This leads to Toots becoming Queen and turning the school into her palace. Naturally power almost immediately goes to her head and she starts ordering anyone who opposes her (or annoys her) sent to the Tower. As attempts to explain to her Bash Street School doesn't have a Tower just makes her angry, they eventually resort to locking the prisoners in the school's water tower. By the end of the story, Toots has imprisoned everyone in the tower (even her friends for suggesting she might be going to far). However, due to it not being designed to hold them, their combined weight makes the water tower collapse. Once freed, the masses immediately depose her and destroy the proclamation. The story ends with them locking her in an equally makeshift prison to teach her a lesson.

When Sylvester informs Dennis' dad of what he's done, he expects him to be delighted.

Lord Snooty had existed as a kid for the entirety of his comic strip appearance. In the 2000s, his series technically returned, but through his grandson, Lord Snooty III.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_48a91137	comment	Comics Merger: Merged with Magic Comic for just the annuals back in the 40s. Had unofficial mergers in the 90s which saw the comic absorbing characters from recently defunct comics, most notably The Numskulls from The Beezer. The Dandy's demise resulted in Bananaman moving over as well, though they'd already been running reprints as a way to promote his merchandise. After the end of the digital Dandy, these reprints were replaced with new stories. Also, the end of BeanoMAX when it was replaced with a dedicated Dennis and Gnasher magazine saw Wallace & Gromit and Fight My Monster move to the weekly comic, though still only appearing every month or so. Fight My Monster, an advert strip for an online game, was quickly dropped, however.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: In early issues, pretty much all the comic's most iconic characters had yet to appear. The only strip in the first issue to survive into The '50s was Lord Snooty. Early issues also included text stories and adventure strips unlike later ones which only featured humourous comic strips. When Dennis the Menace first appeared in 1951 he lacked his red and black stripey jumper and instead wore a tie. Plus, Gnasher didn't debut until 1968 and then he looked very different. The Bash Street Kids started life as a strip called When the Bell Rings and, aside from Danny and Toots, featured none of the recognisable characters. It would take a few years for the main nine to set in place. Minnie the Minx wore a skirt with suspenders in her first appearance, while Roger the Dodger wore shorts in his.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_5768d31	comment	Super-Speed: Billy Whizz. His speed and reactions are so fast they even allow him to stay dry in a rainstorm by dodging between raindrops. To put it into perspective, a "slow jog" for Billy is about 100mph or so. He can easily outrun sound - he once went supersonic at school to prevent a teacher from hearing an insulting remark his friend had just made about the teacher. His greatest moment to date though was when his father wanted to change the TV channel to watch some boring football match, and Billy outran the signal from the remote control in order to negate the channel-change command. Yes, he went considerably faster than light across the living-room and back! In October 2013, Billy was introduced to his female cousin, Wilma "Billie" Whizz; who turned out to be about as fast as him. The first thing that they decided to do was challenge each other to a race. Surprisingly enough for a speedster race, it did not end in a draw. The first race was a short sprint across Beanotown (several miles) and was won by Billy by about an arms-length. Billie challenged him to 2 further races to determine who was the faster, with the prize possibly being who got control of his comic strip in future. Billy agreed. The second race was a "middle distance" race from Beanotown (usually depicted as a small town somewhere in the southeast of England, surrounded by countryside) to Dundee, Scotland (a distance of abut some 400 miles). Billy was leading early in the race, but was overtaken in the latter stages and lost by several metres. The third challenge was a long distance race around the world. It started in Beanotown, travelling south and across the English channel, through France, Germany, and shortly afterwards passing through Transylvania (during the Hallowe'en 2013 edition of the comic). At this point, Billy and Billie were still level.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_5f9fbd83	comment	Not Allowed to Grow Up: Practically everyone. Weirdly enough, Dennis celebrated his 50th birthday in a special issue, even though he's still physically 10. Averted and then played straight with Dennis. Originally the character looked quite young but as the years progressed Dennis got taller and ganglier so much so that by the 70s he resembled more of a teenager than a 10 year old boy. However after this the original artist stopped drawing the character and Dennis did not age for much of the 80s until the 90s when he got younger in part to make the character easier to animate. One theory has it that the current Dennis is the son of the original, the main "clues" to this being that Dennis's dad was redesigned from a pinstriped authoritarian in 2011 to look something like a grown up Dennis, and occasional flashbacks showing the new Dennis' granddad looking exactly like the old pinstriped dad. Lampshades in the special 70th Anniversary issue, in which Dennis' friends can't tell whether his birthday banner reads 10 or 70, with one of them telling the other that it's obviously 10, since Dennis cannot possibly be 70. The Lord Snooty from the 2000s is stated to be the grandson of the original, however, and Bunkerton Castle's portrait gallery has borne witness. Strangely, this became a retcon in 2013 when the original Snooty returned!

In reality, it was a hallucination of the modern William, who was on a school trip to a Victorian exhibit and got knocked out by a falling sign. Curiously, several people from his dream are either his friends or strangers in real-life.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_624c868	comment	Transplant: This is not a new thing—many characters from defunct comics, most famously the Beezer and Topper, have migrated to the Beano or its sister comic the Dandy over the years. In 2007 the comic started running reprints of Fred's Bed, formerly a strip in the defunct Beezer and Topper comic, as a cost-saving measure. Then for the 70th Anniversary special edition of the comic the following year they ran an all-new Fred's Bed strip, as the strip's setup made it a convenient way of exploring the comic's history. This led to a full revival of the strip in the following months. Bananaman, who came from Nutty and The Dandy. The Numskulls had their time hopping around different DC Thomson comics. A number of characters from other Beano strips have been transplanted to the Bash Street Kids in order to avert The Smurfette Principle and Monochrome Casting: Harsha (from "Har Har's Joke Shop"), Mandi (from the Very Special Episode strip "Mandi"), Stevie (from "Stevie Star"), Mahira (from "Mahira of the Match"), and Khadija (from "Sketch Khad"). Angel Face originated from her own The Dandy strip Little Angel Face in 1954 before she was brought back for the 2013 Dennis the Menace and Gnasher TV series and soon started appearing in The Beano.

The storylines worked as desired, as they received national press coverage and a spike in the comic's sales.

Billy the Cat, for example, hadn't been in the comic since the 1970s but would cameo in Annual stories. Pansy Potter famously disappeared after the death of her comic strip artist, and then returned as a Soft Reboot in which she'd emigrated to Wonderland to live with the Fairy Tales' characters. She did make reappearances in more recent years.

An early Minnie strip had her mother encourage her to take up a "ladylike" hobby such as scrapbooking. After using the scrapbook as an Improvised Weapon, she told her mum "I won three scraps with it!" Villainous "good kids" include Walter and Cuthbert Cringeworthy, both of whom are tell-tales whose main interest is getting the main characters into trouble. In Walter's case, recent stories have stretched the concept of "goody-goody" a bit, as he's been shown as quite happy to frame Dennis. Also Roger the Dodger, though he's more of a schemer.

Similarly, Spotty is now Scotty, although this is still sort of a nickname since "Scott" is his middle name. Plug remains known as Plug, presumably because the connection to the phrase "plug ugly" is less obvious. Minnie's first name is really Hermione.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents: Downplayed, but Roger the Dodger's parents pretty much use him as a chore combine harvester. Often times, he has to do several chores at once (such as hoovering with one hand, polishing vases with the other, wiping the floor with a cloth on his foot, serving food with a tray on his head) while his parents do nothing to help and simply sit around eating biscuits and drinking tea. And they wonder how he got so good at dodging. Quite often, that is dodging - he is trying to get multiple tasks done at once if he can't dodge them entirely. Abusive parents were a common theme in early Beano strips, the most prominent example being Dennis the Menace's father, who would often punish his son with 'the slipper' at the end of almost every strip. Fortunately, this has been phased out, (though it's still occassionally lampshaded in more recent issues through Dennis Sr.)

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: In the past, Dennis and Minnie were sometimes shown in the future as a couple. Minnie's character profile on the 2016 version of Beano.com refers to her as Dennis's cousin... she also apparently has several brothers, who as of September 2016, have never been seen. The confusion worsened when it was revealed that the new Dennis was the son of the old Dennis, most likely leading to the character's information muddling with the new change. Common when it came to character names. Minnie's name was also changed from Minerva, to Hermione Makepeace. However, this can be blamed on Generation Xerox. In the old Wizard story paper serial Bash Street School, Toots was called Kate Pye. The website in the 2010s now lists her as Sydney Kate Pie, to match her brother Sidney. Reprints erase the Peanut character from the 1940s logo and the character Polly from 1950s Lord Snooty. Both characters were, unfortunately, black racist stereotypes.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_b2283870	comment	Retool: Has happened occasionally. For example, Lord Snooty started out as a posh kid who'd rather play with the poor kids from the local alley instead of the posh kids from his school, and he hid this from his Aunt Matilda. Later, the Ash Can Alley gang moved into the castle, Aunt Mat now being their guardian. And later still, several of the characters were dropped, with a few new ones who used to have their own strips moving in instead. In later years, Snooty would struggle for money to pay for repairs to the castle. And then there was the time his grandson got his own strip - which was retconned away when the original Snooty returned again. Biffo the Bear was rested in the late eighties (some time after he lost his status as cover star to Dennis), and after a few years returned as a half-page strip with no dialogue, relying on surreal visuals.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: The Beano and The Dandy have a friendly rivalry which often involves taking potshots at each other (e.g. characters being threatened with the possibility of getting sent to the other comic). Stopped after the Dandy's demise in 2012. 2020 saw a special BeanOLD 8-page bonus comic released, intended for the adults who'd been reading the regular Beano during the COVID-19 Pandemic and other assorted crises of the year; the plot revolved around Dennis Sr. and Sandra pitted against Prime Minister Boris Johnson (who's depicted as being unable to make a decision) and Walter's father, who has put Dennis Sr. out of a job by way of closing Beanotown's paperclip factory. Jabs at 2020's multitude of horribleness abounded. In 2018 the comic issued a cease and desist at Jacob Rees-Mogg, accusing him of copying Walter the Softy: both were incredibly snooty, stopped other people having fun, and constantly invoked their father's name. A bit harsh on Walter, perhaps. A Bash Street Kids strip in the 30th of April, 2022 issue is an entire jab at the controversial NFT market, with farts sold on the "Niffy Fart Trade" in place of digital media.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Beano (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: One strip had a bunch of protesters holding signs, among them "Down With This Sort Of Thing" and "Careful Now". Calamity James is named after Calamity Jane. And then you have his pet Alexander Lemming, named after scientist Alexander Fleming. The Meebo and Zucky stories are definitely a more sadistic Tom and Jerry. Belles of St. Lemons (a lyric in "Oranges and Lemons") was about a group of boarding school girls always getting into trouble. Uh Oh, Si Co! was intended to be this to Yu-Gi-Oh!, but it apparently didn't work because The News of the World accusing the stories of encouraging bullying caused its cancellation. Jonah the disastrous sailor is most likely named after the naval "Jonah the sailor" superstition. Many of the superheroes that have passed through have confirmed or implied connections to popular American comic book heroes. Jack Flash was designed as a Beano equivalent to DC Comics' Captain Marvel, despite having more parallels to Superman (i.e. Flash crash-lands on Earth after leaving his planet), and not having much powers apart from flight. But he also has similarities to the Roman god Mercury in his winged ankles. Billy the Cat is an orphaned schoolboy who sneaks out his house disguised as a masked vigilante of a cat to fight crime when his elderly aunt is distracted. Too many similarities to Spider-Man to be a coincidence. Later-newcomer Bananaman is more of a Shazam expy than Jack Flash, but is also DC Thomson's Batman. Issue 4000's Beano crossover even revealed his Bad Future counterpart is a gravel-voiced and Perma-Stubble cynic perched in a cowling pose on a rooftop. Played with in one of Rasher's comic strips when he imagines himself as Ham-Man. Dennis the Menace was named after the music hall song "Dennis the Menace From Venice" by Eddie Pola. One strip had Dennis go to a comic convention, where he is briefly approached by two cosplayers from apparently America, who confuse him with the other Dennis the Menace.

Subverted with Minnie the Minx in the 2000s. Long-serving artist Jim Petrie retired in 2001, and over the next few years a succession of artists all tried their hands at the strip, sometimes radically changing Minnie and/or her family. Then, when the editors finally settled on Ken Harrison as regular artist later in the decade, he undid not only the previous artists' changes but even those of Jim Petrie, taking Minnie all the way back to how her original artist, Leo Baxendale had drawn her in the 1960s.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_dd91f8d8	comment	Audience Participation: The comic has always allowed readers to participate in changes. In the mid-2010s, the front and back page star a young reader who sends in a photograph and stars in a short comic strip with the characters of the comic. (For example, if Lewis had sent in a photo, he could star in a strip called Loud Lewis and it would be about how loud and annoying he is to adults.) A few instances had three or more new series introduced and run in rotation, with readers voting on what series they wanted to continue permanently. The ones that lost were discontinued. Sometimes, the audience would do whatever they liked. Whenever the writers wanted to do a Ratings Stunt, it often panicked their readers, such as the story arc in The Bash Street Kids in which the cast, setting, and plot were drastically changed. The audience sent angry letters and signed petitions to protest the change; fortunately, there wasn't gonna be a change to begin with! In 1988, a hundred kids and their teachers helped the comic become the biggest ever in the Guinness World Records by drawing a 60-foot high front page across a beach.

Kat and Kanary is pretty much Sylvester and Tweety from Looney Tunes. The character of Joe Jitsu seems to be an expy of an earlier character entitled Karate Sid from the 80s. Meebo and Zuky are this for Itchy and Scratchy. Harsha Chandra is basically a female Tricky Dicky, but with a twist - she doesn't have to buy the tricks because her Dad owns the joke shop! Their strip, Har-Har's Joke Shop, replaced Dicky's.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_e58dd5	comment	The Jinx: People who spend significant time with Calamity James often befall some sort of mishap themselves, and he is avoided by the locals as a result. Jonah was an example with a very specific form of bad luck. If he was anywhere near a ship, it sunk. (Sometimes this was directly his fault, so doesn't count as this trope, but sometimes it just happened all on its own.) He remained perpetually oblivious to this, and couldn't understand why it was so hard for him to get a job as a sailor. (Phrase Catcher, from every ship's captain who encountered him: "Aargh! It's 'im!")

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_ea9ecc06	comment	The Kid with the Remote Control: General Jumbo was in command of a sizeable army (and occasionally navy and air force) built by his friend Professor Carter. A low-achieving hero by modern standards, he mainly foiled minor nuisances and petty criminals, but since even this entailed independently controlling dozens of models using a wrist controller with only a few buttons, it would be churlish to deride his efforts. Jumbo still frequently shows up in the annuals. In a crossover with Billy the Cat in the 2008 annual, one of his toy soldiers (Private Pike) becomes both self-aware and malevolent, and tries to take control of him.

Fortunately for them, the Janitor shows up dressed as a Bedsheet Ghost and scares the Head away before he can start the slideshow.

The Beano (Comic Book) / int_fdc4fab4	type	Depending on the Writer
The Beano (Comic Book) / int_fdc4fab4	comment	Depending on the Writer: Most Crazy for Daisy strips portrayed Ernest as a creep that readers were clearly not meant to feel sorry for, but sometimes he would be portrayed sympathetically. Cuthbert's portrayal can vary from story to story with only his intelligence being the consistent factor. Sometimes he's a sleazy suck-up, sometimes he's just socially awkward, and other times he's fairly well adjusted and practical. Mike Pearse's take on the Bash Street Kids gives some of them more individual qualities - Sidney's the Butt-Monkey, Spotty's the Deadpan Snarker with a Napoleon Complex, Smiffy's stupidity is up to eleven, etc. He also portrayed the The Three Bears as a Dysfunctional Family, with Pa Bear being dumber, Ma being tempermental and downright abusive at times and Ted being the sarcastic Only Sane Man. Later writers portray Sidney as the gang's animal lover, with a wide range of exotic pets, and Spotty/Scotty as the most argumentative. In Tricky Dicky, Mr. Throbb is almost universally portrayed as a Sadist Teacher who actively enjoys making life miserable for students (in one strip, he not only confiscates Dicky's phone for using it in the hallway, but he then repeatedly stomps on it while repeatedly asking if he's learned his lesson yet, which would undoubtably get him fired in real life). Some other strips like Bananaman many have him written as a more normal teacher who is just exasperated by his students not paying attention. To put it into perspective, he doesn't even confiscate Eric's manga when he's openly reading it in class.
