Mike Pearse mostly did the 3 Bears and bash street I think.. apart from Ballboy acting a little too nasty at one point then I know the character to be, that was fantastic art and story.. the only problem was right near the end... the Dandy guys turn up, oh and of course the standard 'lets through in some famous people while we are at it'.. sorry, I know I've said about this before but.. the odd appearance fine, for a comic based on that kinda thing like Radio Fun fine, but beano and dandy? not really my taste.<br /><br />surprising the story was as late as 2001..

I couldn't remember then name of both of them ^_^<br /><br />I can see your point, short runs have been tried in the past, but I felt too many strips weren't really given a chance, and it seams in all field, public feedback is a bit lacking at times (though I know, US animation in the 80s, it was in fact almost unheard of for a tv show to get fan mail.. wasn't until the 90s that it really starting happening)Manic Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02848336835961917079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-5052510746534439832013-09-12T09:34:43.157+01:002013-09-12T09:34:43.157+01:00This is pleasing news.

I agree that Cbeebies' Grandpa in My Pocket is very similar!<br /><br />The short run thing is a good idea. It's tried and tested, that's how The Three Bears started out in 1959. They had a four week run, and came back by popular demand a year later. Same thing applies now. They can try out lots of ideas, and if something gets plenty of positive feedback, it can come back for another run. If not, they aren't wasting a page for months on an unpopular strip.James Spiringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12969271488725528823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-233632427536767112013-09-11T23:17:56.070+01:002013-09-11T23:17:56.070+01:00That's fantastic!

I can see it all now.. 'New Strip: Top Secret by Lew Stringer features kids who do things in the dark'<br /><br />^_^ while i'm not a current Beano reader (which reminds me.. I need to figure out who wrote and draw an old long dennis the menace story called 'The Birthday party' or something which had a bunch of fellow child stars of the beano round dennis' house for a party.. great writing, great art but I didn't recognise the style) anyway.. While I'm not a current beano reader, I see the idea of keeping things fresh but I'm not sure that's the same as new stuff all the time, more then keeping doing new things with the character.. no offense to anyone, but there does seam to be many new 'hit' characters like the past with Dennis, Big Eggo, Biffo, Korky, Pocket Grandfather (in various version.. like BBC's version maybe..).. of course, they weren't all named ones etc, but stillManic Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02848336835961917079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171457769306554856.post-90010641832443644022013-09-11T16:35:29.458+01:002013-09-11T16:35:29.458+01:00The Bone Ranger is by Steve Beckett, not by me.
