BEST AND WORST:

BEST:
Bananaman
The story was very funny, a great idea!
Harry and his Hippo
Crazy and hilarious!
Daredevil Dad
The artwork and the story were both fantastic!
The Bogies
Loved it, always liked the Flying Snotsman!
Thingummyblob
What's not to love about an innocent, huggable, sweet, cute, slimy creature dancing?
Boo
So funny, jokes everywhere plus a classic cameo by Freddy the Fearless Fly!

WORST:
Tag Team Tastic
I hate this strip. It better not win, the artist is terrible, he has no skill, he just got lucky.
Phil's Finger
I didn't get it at all.
Little Piers Morgan
What was going on, I had no clue.

The Dandy, Issue 3527, on sale now for only £1.50.

  1. Good review.

    Let me just make a correction...

    Freddie the Fearless Fly. OLD!

    Next issue the Dandy will have 3 characters who appeared in issue 1: Dan, Korky and Freddie! Woot! The nostalgics will be delighted!

  2. That vote is so close that Phil's Finger is the only one unlikely to return, as it's way behind the others. The other three are overtaking each other all the time. Daredevil Dad is winning now, but both Tag-Team Tastic and Harry and his Hippo are only a few votes behind.

    By the way, Bananaman, by Wayne Thomspon? Whoops.

  3. Yes, it's a shame really, Phil's Finger had good artwork and the story idea was good in the first strip but then it became a celebrity strip and that's what I didn't like...

    So far the votes are:
    Daredevil Dad: 260
    Harry and his Hippo: 255
    Tag-Team Tastic: 223
    Phil's Finger: 61

    Hopefully if the scores stay that close they'll bring all the ones close together back like they did in Comic Idol once upon a time...

    Ah oops, thanks James, I'll change that! :)
