That's what he does. Cartooning in comics for 44 years, should be getting the hang of it anytime now...

Beano, I've got it covered.
Three more Beano covers from 1999, 2003 and 2004, all hand-coloured by me.
The first one, with the Vampire Dennis image, was, I think my second or third Beano cover, and, as I sometimes did, I had drawn it and coloured it and was just about to cram it into a postal tube when I decided I could improve it. This is that 'improved' cover, but The Beano were sent both and chose one.
The second cover, above, of Dennis and Gnasher snowboarding was a favourite of mine at the time, it was one of those that comes out fast and right and I didn't change anything. Took about an hour (partly because the hand-colouring was made easier as it was set in the snow!)
The third cover, left, is one of the last 'full page' images. I was quite pleased with it as it was again a very fast cover.

I'd really like to see the return of the 'real' Dennis - I'm not too keen on that new, cutesy TV look.
The real Dennis as you've drawn him here, I mean.
Here, here! At least give him all of his fingers back too. :)
