Beanotown United ?

Although a few of the DC Thomson crowd managed to make an early escape on Friday, not all of them contrived to avoid the Visit of The Year from myself and my Colourist and The Beano Colourist, namely Nika. Here we are at Thomson's perennial temporary accommodation in Dundee, with Gary, Mark, John, Claire, Grant and Michael.
Nika and I were made very welcome, and there was the rain, and the pickles, and the dangerous pub, and the meal, and the nice pub, and my old pal Iain, so it was all very nice.

The Irish Sea, we have ways of getting over!

Me and Nika will be in Dublin at the Comic Con Comic Village over the bank holiday weekend ( all day Saturday August 29 and the morning of Sunday 30), drawing you a quick Dennis the Menace if such is your greatest wish, giving away badges and other stuff, and generally saying 'hello, remember The Beano' to comics fans over in Ireland.
Here we are, listed under Red and Black Comics, but it's still just us!



But, fear not if you're over the border, for we've been invited to Belfast later in the year, too, so we may see you there! Newcastle's Film and Comic Con is also on our road trip list, in November. In fact, if you don't get to see us sometime over this year, you're just trying to avoid us!

Next year we hope to do go even further afield, just letting people know The Beano is still out there!
