Beano, bashed

RIP David Sutherland, illustrator for children's favourite comic The Beano for more than 60 years. Another piece of my childhood gone.

  1. Oh no! My favourite stamps from 2022 were my Gnasher ones. I'm pleased I still have a sheet of them.

    1. It's good to see that the institution that is The Beano is still around and being recognised in such a prestigious way! Jx

  2. I wonder if The Beano will try to follow his lead or let his characters retire. What a career! And The Beano is so much better than the one in the States sold for gas and bloating.

    1. Last time I looked, The Beano was still on the shelves and still doing well. There has always been a succession of artists on board, and I have no doubt that the Bash Street Kids et al will carry on despite his passing... Jx
