The Country Cuzzins
Over the years '' The Beano'' has had many different strips, ranging from comic strips to adventure strips to prose stories. Prose stories were the first to go, being phased out in 1955. Adventure strips were phased out in 1975, with the last one being '' General Jumbo'' (There have been unsuccessful attempts to reintroduce adventure strips with new series of '' Billy the Cat and Katie'' in 2003, 2005 and 2009.) The longest-running strip in ''The Beano'' is '' Dennis the Menace'', which has been running for seventy years. Other long-running strips include '' Biffo the Bear'', ''Minnie the Minx'', ''Roger the Dodger'', '' The Bash Street Kids'', '' Little Plum'', and ''Billy Whizz''. As of 2015, ''The Beano'' has been home to 371 different strips (with a further seventeen strips appearing in Comic Idol competitions and not later appearing in the comic).

In the present, its legacy is its misbehaving characters, escapist tales and anarchic humour with an audience of all ages. ''Beano'' is a mul ...

Charles Griggs
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Some Germanic languages, for example Dutch and German, have retained the word in two separate senses. In the particular case of Dutch, ''Karel'' refers to the given name, whereas the noun ''kerel'' means "a bloke, fellow, man". Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ''ċeorl''), which developed its depr ...
