Blinky (comics)
''Blinky'' is a British comic strip, created by Nick Brennan, and published in the comic book ''The Beezer and Topper'' from 1990 until 1994 and in ''The Dandy'' until 2007. Concept Blinky is a young boy with large, thick glasses through whom he sees a galaxy very different from the rest of the world, which often leads to chaos. His trusty sidekick, Yellow Dog, always seems to get caught up in Blinky's adventures, and is very keen to get rid of him. When Blinky first appeared in 1990, the design of the character seemed to be a younger version of an earlier Beezer comic strip called '' Colonel Blink''. However, when ''The Beezer and Topper'' folded, and Nick Brennan began drawing the strip in January 1994, Blinky took on a new look that was now quite unlike Colonel Blink. The design was altered further over the next few years. Following the relaunch in late 2007, Nick Brennan, the artist, left ''The Dandy'', and so there were no Blinky strips being produced from then on. H ...
