''The Beano'' was planned as a pioneering children's magazine that contained mostly comic strips, in the style of American newspaper gag-a-days, as opposed to the more text story based Story papers that were immensely popular before the Second World War. In the present, its legacy is its misbehaving characters, escapist tales and anarchic humour with an audience of all ages. ''Beano'' is a mul ...

The Dandy People
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of pronoun ''thee'') when followed by a v ...

Rasher (comics)
Rasher is a British comic strip published in the comics magazine ''The Beano'', featuring Dennis the Menace's pet pig Rasher. It was initially drawn by David Sutherland and published five years after the character's first appearance. Due to ''The Beano'' 2012 continuity, Rasher's daughter (also named Rasher) has succeeded the role, particularly in '' Dennis And Gnasher: Unleashed!''. Character background Rasher is a pig obsessed with food, either seen eating it (usually by stealing the food from an unsuspecting human) or daydreaming about it. A method of attack to get the food is by either butting humans or racing past them quick enough so they fail to notice their food has disappeared. Publication history Introduction to ''The Beano'' Rasher made his first appearance in ''The Beano'' in issue 1920 in ''Dennis the Menace and Gnasher''. Dennis and Gnasher walk by a farm and notice the farmer's pig used its trough to prank him. Dennis is intrigued and successfully takes th ...

General Jumbo
General Jumbo is a British adventure story character from the comic magazine ''The Beano''.

David Law (cartoonist)
David Law (1908 – April 1971) was a Scotland, Scottish cartoonist best known for creating ''Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, Dennis the Menace'' and ''Beryl the Peril'' for Dundee publishers D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd . Life Law was born and raised in Edinburgh and educated at Edinburgh College of Art. He first worked for Odhams Press as an illustrator, before moving to D. C. Thomson in the early 1930s. He drew cartoons for Thomsons newspapers like the ''Evening Telegraph (Dundee), Evening Telegraph'', including a strip called ''The Wee Fella''. His most famous creation, ''Dennis the Menace'', first appeared in ''The Beano'' issue 452, dated 17 March 1951. Due to British comics being printed several days before distribution to newsagents (bearing the date of the following week to give them a longer shelf life), it seems beyond dispute that the UK Dennis saw print before Hank Ketcham's identically named ''Dennis the Menace (U.S. comics), Dennis the Menace'', which began syndication ...
