It was said that Class War owed more to The Beano than Bakunin. Maybe so. Kids of all ages certainly thrilled to the exploits of the unlikely band of neer- do- wells and larger than life ruffians who inhabited the pages of the great comic. The Beano wasn't bad either.
No doubt the pointy heads will long debate the socio-political importance of The Beano and Dandy and ponder how such iconoclastic journals emerged from the anal-retentive environs of DC Thomson.
More to the point, did you know that the Cartoon Museum in Little Russell Street are celebrating 70 years of Beano and Dandy with a special exhibition starting on 30th July? I'll be there.
