Worst ones this week were Davina McCaw and Nibbles, both making no sense to me whatsoever! 
Curious on the Jokes Page... Agent Dog 2 Zero drawn by Jamie Smart, maybe a return for next week, I sure hope so!

PG 31: Next Time - Featuring Harry Hill's Real Life Adventures in TV Land, Davina McCaw, Mr Meecher, the Uncool Teacher, Desperate Dan * and Graeme Reaper NEW
PG 32: Back Page: Desperate Dan - Jamie Smart


* - In Factoids.COM the name of the inventor of the toilet is called Thomas Crapper, I'm not too bothered about this, and to be honest, I found it quite funny, but if this comic is designed for kids as well as teens and adults then surely he should of had a more appropriate name...


* - The Next Time's Desperate Dan awkwardly shows a picture of Dan with a big whale, but this story is on the back page as this week's Desperate Dan... Oops...


A pretty good issue, Bananaman, Pre-Skool Prime Minister and Terror Byte were the highlights of this week's issue, although Postman Prat, Doctor Loo, Jibber and Steve, Desperate Dan and George VS Dragon were also very good. I wasn't so impressed with Harry Hill's Real Life Adventures in TV Land (I thought the story was too confusing and didn't seem to get anywhere...), The Mighty Bork (not funny but I was pleased to see the last of the off putting wobbly lines and all the Bork, bork, bork stuff, also Rocky O'Flair was back so I was glad about that), Simples! 101 Ways to Use a Meerkat (Who the hell draws it now, it used to be great but now it's drawn by some terrible artist), Stan Helsing (The story was boring and I don't really know what it's about), CSI: Emmerdale (I do not get this whatsoever, I don't watch soaps so I'm screwed!), Bear Thrills (That pun was old and it wasn't very funny) and finally and surprisingly The Arena of Awesome (I don't know about you but I find it really boring and not funny at all... The colours are also to light and don't look good...)


Anyway despite these things, the issue is pretty good! And best of all, no Clive 5! :D


Characters absent this issue:
- Kid Cops 
- Robot on the Run
- Clive 5
- Shao Lin Punks
- Little Celebs
- Noel or No Noel?
- TV Teaser
- What's in Cheryl's Hair Today?
- The Phantom Pharter
- If the Dandy did the Cube 
- The Not-so-Secret Millionaire
- The Stynx Effect
- The Last Windbender
- The Sheriff of Dottingham
- Coronation Street Fighter
- The Twiglet Saga
And obviously the one issue laster:
- Count Snotula (Where the hell did this guy go?!)


So now you've read this ramble about the Dandy go buy it! It's a great issue! :D

PG 30: Meebo and Zuky - Laura Howell
PG 31: 60 Second Dennis - Nigel Parkinson
PG 32: Back Page - Adverts for BeanoMAX and Beano V.I.P.


Great issue, good to see Meebo and Zuky was back! The two pager Lego advert irritated me slightly but having it as a comic strip was a good move. A reference to Back to the Future in Back to the 80's which amused me as I'm a massive fan of the films. Robbie Rebel was very funny, great artwork with a great storyline, Tom once again amazes me with Fred's Bed, his art style is incredible! Billy Whizz and Ratz were also good but it all went downhill towards the end with Ivy and Roger the Dodger... The Bash Street Kids had good artwork but the storyline was poor... 


Anyway, this one was a great issue, really good, so yeah, go buy it now! :D

Have a read, it's about the old revamped Desperate Dan when the Dandy Xtreme appeared, biggest fail ever, they moan that Dan doesn't eat cow pies even though the picture below has the new Desperate Dan eating? You guessed it, a cow pie.
